hi Evilah - I'm being banded by Dr.Oh on Thursday May 17th. I am about a week and a half into my liquid diet only. How about you?

I don't know when my date is but I think I'll find out this week. Keep me updated on how your surgery I goes. I want to go to a support group with people from dr. oh's office in it. I want to know their experience. Have you been to one?

Keep me update on your surgery/experience/progress. I hope everything goes well for you.

Is there one? I meet with a couple of gals on Friday to walk along the Grandview Trail in UP and they both are Dr. Oh's patients. There are also support groups at St. Josephs on the first and third Monday of each month down by the cafeteria. I havn't been to this one but we are planning on it on the 21st.

a lap band only support group?

!!

I don't know if I want to go to a support group with gastric bypass patients, they're experience with diet, and self-control, etc. seems to be so different. It would be very cool if you guys would start a dr oh/hirai/srikanth/fox lap band support group on the south side!

      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!
