I would like to congratulate the essay winner also. Has she/he even acknowledged that they have won the essay contest. I was one of those who spilled my guts also in hopes of being the lucky winner, but thats ok, it was worth it just knowing that someone will benefit.:) And now we are all curious as to who this lucky person is and maybe alittle about them. Also curious as to how many essays were turned in. Good Luck to that lucky person and I wish them the best. I am hoping to be banded this year and looking forward to it.

Hi everyone. 11 people wrote to us, spilling their guts as some may put it. We wish we could help all of you. To all of you that would like to know who the winner is, I'm sorry they have to make that choice. I can tell you (with their permission) it is a she and she will be flying out from the mid west to spend some time with us and go over paper work. She is thinking about having her surgery by a doctor in our area, who will then give a referral to a fill MD in her area. Thank you all again and God Bless.

      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!
