Chattanooga, TN Bandsters



Recommended Posts

Is there an active thread on here for Chattanooga Bandsters? I searched a little but couldn't find anything. Just curious? I figured there were enough of us to start one.

Hey Kim - I knew you were just from our May bandsters group. I think I have seen some of his posts. I think it would be neat if we could find enough Chattanooga bandsters to do a monthly or bi-monthly support gathering type thing. Maybe we will get some feedback from others. Technically I don't live in Chattanooga - I live in Cleveland, but I work downtown.

Alicia,

I'm from Chattanooga and work downtown also. Don't post very much but always read. I know of one other person on the boards from Chattanooga (Surby). There are a few postings under the Tennessee thread. I wouldn't mind some sort of get-together. I go to the support group meetings at Dr. Ponce's office but it would be nice to get to know others and really talk about all the nitty-gritty lapband stuff :)

maybe we could plan for something early December because Thanksgiving is just around the corner and that tends to be busy for everyone. I'd love to meet with others though and talk about all of it! :peep:

Sounds fun....we can encourage each other and get psyched up for the holidays :peep: All of our surgery dates are pretty close to each other so we all should be dealing with a lot of the same things.

      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!
