Dee...we are neighbors!! Well, not really, but in the grand scheme of things, we are relatively close! I have a good friend who taught in Hisperia last year, and this year she is joining our school!

Hey new kids, and everyone else. Hope you are all doing well. I got back from Key West yesterday, was a lot of fun, but I am STILL over restricted. I talked to my doctor while on vacation and he said to call him on Monday if it's still too tight. I haven't PBed or thrown up at all (thankfully) but I have a lot of discomfort and I can feel the band is too tight. I'm back on liquids until I get this sorted out...and let me tell you, when you are in the Keys and limited to liquids, there are very few options...I hope tequila counts as a liquid because that's about the only thing I consumed there...it's so weird, though because I had my last fill over a month ago, but I only started feeling restriction last Friday. Thankfully the doctor didn't think I had a slip...let's hope he's right.

take care, everyone

definately relating to the PBing , etc. etc.! :omg: OMG anyone experienced the lump in the throat thing? it's like someone is choking me, very painful and a bit scary. it generally happens on the first bite and on well chewed and familiar foods that didn't do it before, it's very freaky. :nervous

HEY, neighbor yes we are pretty close, I worked one summer in P.S. that was more then enough for me. I do come in to your area when I am out training people who say they have never been. It gives me a good 5 hour day, only because I take the long way around. I may come down in November for the festival, have not been to that one yet.

Take care, have a good week.

Where are you from? I hate to hear of anyone seeing a doctor they can't stand! My doctor is awesome! I wish I could say that for all of them. Good luck with everything.

      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!
