piercedqt78 did you go to Romeoville High School? My son is the same age as you. What a small world you also live in Romeoville, I to am a disney lover.lol How long did it take you to loose all of your weight. Soniacan, how far are you from Romeoville? Yes, getting together would be just great. My doctor has said nothing about testing me for a leak, I asked him if it was possible and he said no. But how would he know for sure if he did not take any test. Who did your surgeries. Thank you for writing me back it was nice to hear from someone so close. Yes i would love to get lunch, maybe the three of us could get together since we all live so close?

No I didn't go to Romeoville High. But I work for the district. I also have a child in the district. We moved here almost 2 years ago from Chicago Ridge. I had my surgery with Dr. Lahmann at Silver Cross, love him. I lost the bulk of my weight the first 18 months. I have about 20 or 25 pounds to go. I'm pretty happy where I am now, so I really don't stress about it. I went from a 22-24 to a size 10-12 now. Sonia and I are meeting for lunch either tomorrow or sunday, what's good for you? ~Mandy

I am using Dr. Lutfi at Mercy hospital in Chicago. They are slower than all get out, but they are taking care of all of the paperwork. Has anyone had experience with him? My surgery is 4/8

My sister just moved to lindenhurst, and I would love to meet people too! Count me in!

      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!
