Hi, what happened I was at Panera...a little early but i was there until about 1:30 pm. I bugged another group of ladies that was together ~oops~

But Mandy, after going to your website, I think I passed you in the foyer on my way out, you were on the phone....were you wearing a greyish sweat jacket and have a short haircut?

We'll have to shoot for next month.

Ok, I went to the seminar this morning. Still on course, I have an apointment with my doctor on 4/20, I want to see if she docmented my weight loss efforts from 12/05 to 12/06. I got my fingerscrossed. Then I have an appoinment with the surgeon on 4/25. I'd like to have all my medical stuff in order by then....can you tell I wanna do this!!!! SO here I go...

That was me in the entryway. I was there at 1ish. I called my mom on my phone to see if I was at the right place. There were 3 of us there today and we stayed until 7pm :) We had a great time, I know I needed the time with some fellow bandsters. It's always nice to talk to someone that understands what I am saying. We want to do it again next month, what is good for everyone? ~Mandy

Sorry you didn't see us! I am so working on a LBT - Chicago plant thing that we can put on the table when we meet so folks know who we are.

It was great to sit and gab!

Oh mandy those Detour bars you were talking about are on sale at CVS for 10/10. I got 2 to test them out.

Wow I hate I missed that! Next month.

OK, so I'm wavering now....the infosession was good. I was sold on Dr. Galvani and I realized that, 900 N. Michaigan is quite a hike, if I have to go in for anything I have to drive clear to the Loop 1 1/2 hours with no traffic, but if I consider The Midwest Ctr. out of Joliet I'm looking at 40 minutes from home and 30 minutes from work! And UIC is not a covered hospital with my insurance, but SIlver Cross is. I want EVERYTHING I can get to be in network...less out of pocket for me...Mandy, how much are the fills in Joliet????

Gonna give it to God!

What is good for everyone next month? I am better with Sat. The 5th or the 19th? Same place? Panera works out well, seems to be easy to find, centrally located, not too expensive, and something for anyone postop or preop. I'm game. ~Mandy

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
