There are quite a group of us going to DePaul. Have you gone to a seminar there yet John? My DH and I went last week and it was extremely informative. DH was quite concerned about he procedure and now he is 100% on board for me to have it. The staff at the WLI are great. Welcome aboard.

I hope to be at that support group meeting. It depends on if I can talk DD into driving me there. It pretty much depends on how I feel.

I will not be at the support group on the 20th due to the fact of what time they hold it and traffic getting there. I wish I had the time to get there. As far as getting a fill on March 6th- I go at 8:50 am. I will be on the look out for other bandsters. Later-- StlouisGal-- how did your surgery go?

I'm home and banded. Hospital experience was great! Not a lot of pain, just achy and hard to get up and down. Only needed a couple of doses of pain killer so I think I'm doing pretty good. If I can get a ride to the support group meeting I'll be there. Not sure I'll be up to driving by then. I think DD will bring me.

Getting the insurance paperwork sent, accepted, approved, etc. is the worst part of the whole deal. It took the Dr's office three weeks to send mine because they were looking into things. I guess that is to make sure the surgery is safe. That is why DePaul has such an excellent record I think. Call them about once a week to make sure you aren't on a desk somplace forgotten.

Take care!

My name is Pat. I think I have it worked out so I can be there. DD had a meeting she can't get out of until six so DH is going to have to forgo church this one time unless I decide I can drive myself. As good as I feel right now that is a good possibility.

Where is it? The May Center?

Did you guys go tonight.

I was there. It was packed not a seat in the house. I was surprised. All the other ones I went to only had maybe 20 people.

Yes, I was there, sitting along the back wall. Sorry I didn't catch up with you. I thought it was pretty interesting even though I don't typically like such large crowds. I wish they would split it into a support group for bands and bypass.

      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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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!
