Hi everyone,

Not sure where to introduce myself, so I started here. My name is Jonna. I live in Hawaii with my husband and 5 girls. I work at UH-Leeward College as a Health Information Technology Assistant and a student getting my AS in that field.

I am in the pre-op stage and my gastric bypass is scheduled for Jan. 3, 2014. I am excited and nervous at the same time. I decided that this will be a new healthy me for a new year! I look forward to getting to know you all and having a great support system.

Good luck on your surgery. I had lapband surgery in 9/13/13 and I'm down around 40 pounds! I still have a ways to go, but I've been doing really well!

I'm so happy that you've made the decision! You will have a very good year coming up! Congrats!

      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!
