Holy Crap that's awesome!! I'm down 32 - happy with that so far. I just keep try to remember that I didn't put it on overnight so I have to be patient and it will come off :)

I was at Alexian Brothers also. Dr Kane. Great experience.

Those of you in the area - when and where do you attend support group? And even if you don't attend - can you tell me where some support groups meetings are at? The one for the Kane Center is only on Sat AM and that's not a good time for me. I'd like to meet with people who have had WLS. Thanks.

Morten's mom - would you like a visitor? I don't live too far and I'm off work. I'd be happy to stop by on day two if you like. I'm rootin for ya!!!!

Everyone is talking about Alexian here, but my surgery is at Good Shepard. Id love someone that's been through this to visit the hospital. I hear that the first days or so are bad.

      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!
