melissa, you are of course welcome. I called to confirm that there would be 6 or 8 of us and they said there were no reservations. But we should have a fairly short wait. Here is the address, as I just learned that there are 3 Olive Gardens in Naperville. Can't wait to see you all there.

620 S State Route 59

Naperville, IL 60540

(630) 355-2818

I'm in Romeoville, west of the city. ~Mandy

Hey Mandy,

I'm in Bolingbrook and wondering who you had for a surgeon and how the procedure went.

I had sugery in the city, and was unhappy with the surgeon and he is in california now. I use Dr. Lahmann at Silver Cross Hospital. I think they are great. Let me know if you want or need more information. ~Mandy

Ok, the 5 of us met yesterday, and I had a great time. I would like to do this again next month. Lets plan this early so we can all mark the calender and have the day free. When? Where? And who's in? ~Mandy

I would like to try a different place next time, same area though. I think that my portion will be much smaller next time. I am going to get a fill sometime in the next 2 weeks. ~Mandy

Of course count me in as well! I will actually be banded next time!! Yeah!

Thanks ladies for answering my endless questions! Tomorrow's the day. I've been excited up until today. Now I have to admit I'm a little scared. Plus my son's asthma is acting up today, so part of me is saying that I should stay home with him. But I know that being alive for him is one of the main reasons I'm doing this. It's just hard.

lala---I hope that everything goes well for you! It will totally all be worth it! You will be in my thoughts and prayers!

Mandy---Count me in, however I already know that I am not available Feb. 4th (my bday) and Feb. 11th. Just to give you a heads up!

Glad to hear that you all had a great time! I am really sorry that I could not make it! I have been having a rather difficult time eating lately anyways...

      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!
