Hi Everyone from CO.



Recommended Posts

Hi all!;)

I'm new to the site!

I was just banded on OCT. 22nd 2007

At Skyridge Medical Center in Lone Tree, CO. By Dr. Chae.

I'm just 11 Days out from surgery!

I never thought I'd be so EXCITED to have surgery!

I'm 33 years old Happily Married to the most AMAZING Husband & I have 3 BABIES, My Twins are almost 3 in FEB., Justin & David & My Daughter Ava just turned the BIG 1 on OCT.6th!

I'm SO HAPPY I found this SITE! It's so nice to read that other people have so much in common with ME!

Since surgery I have lost 19.5 LBS.!

My recovery so far has been good, Although I do get this really painful spasim thing happen on my left side where the port is from time to time, My Dr. says it's normal and wil go away..........So we'll see about that!

The hardest thing for me has been not being able to pick up & hold my BABIES! My 1 year old just wants MOMMY, she doesn't understand..... I just got to the point yesterday that I can hold her in my lap....So each DAY does get BETTER!

I get my first fill on NOV.29th!

Does anyone have any good ideas to keep the weight coming off until the fill's start coming?

I Look forward to reading & being a part of the site!

Thanks for reading!

Jennifer

Jennifer,

Welcome! I noticed your post because I'm also from Colorado. I live in Parker but I was banded in Mexico by Dr Ortiz on Sep 5th. I'm doing well- you can follow my progress and others at my blog...

      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!
