Have a safe trip Lila.....It will be over in no time and it won't be long before we are sharing banded experiences. I hope you have enough time to walk around Yorkville before your surgery.....it is wonderful...I had my last lunch at Puseteries and my last dinner at Yamato's Sushi house (all in Yorkville) the night before the surgery.

Yorkville was my hangout in the late 60's, early 70's. It was quite different then.....it was where all the hippies in Toronto hungout with our love beads, fur vests, peace signs, and Jesus sandals. Now, if you don't have $5.00 to buy a cup of Yorkville coffee then you might as well go home......LOL

Good luck, you'll make out just fine

Has anyone heard from Lila or Dianne? Just wondering how they made out with their surgery

Carol

Hello, and thanks to all of you for your well wishes. I have not yet heard from Lila, but I personally am doing OK. The lap band is doing fine, I can barely feel it. What is causing me pain is the hiatal hernia that showed up. The doc fixed it and everyday I seem to be getting around better. I am having difficulty getting the Protein drink down, the smell of it actually turns my stomach. I have several kinds, but the variety is not helping. Maybe once I can trow a little banana in it will help. I am also not a big fan of shots, and I have to get one every 8 hours. My sweetie pie is hating having to give them to me. I have to get off here and get some form of Protein in so I will post more later.

TTYAS,

      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!
