It must only be doctor Ponce that does that then. They would only schedule my first three with doctor ponce. I didn't see Brooke alone until my fourth fill.

Are any of you attending the monthly support meetings at GBI? I have been to all but one of them (on vacation in March) since I was banded.

By the way, the "black headed chick" is Tiffany. :-)

I would like to attand the support group meetings, but I live in Cleveland and it is so far to drive. Plus I work late, so that's another reason.

I haven't been to any of the support meetings. By the time they start, I am just leaving work downtown. There is no way I could make it to them before they were over.

I am thinking about doing the pouch test next week to see if that will help my fill situation.

It's basically a modified post op diet that is done over five days. It seems to shrink the pouch and also help break the carb cycle. I've done it once. You can google it for the full instructions.

I agree. It would be nice to have more banded people working there.

I think she's ok, I just do think that they should have more banded people there if for no other reason than to reassure patients about what they are going through. It helps when the person you are talking to knows from experience what you are talking about as opposed to just reading/hearing about it.

      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!
