Hello ladies...I know its been a looooong time. It has been really busy! Works picking up and has home!

Update: Since surgery 12/10 I've lost 26 pounds gained 2....I can't break past the number I'm sitting at. It's funny I seem to be losing weight in 5 pound increments! I'm sitting at 260. I was thinking of doing liquids for a week to kind of jump start things...but we'll see. I've picked up my exercising again. cardio and strength training. I'm just trying to get used to things. Eating a totally new way after 30+ yrs is not an overnight thing...but I'm getting there.

So how is everyone? Mandy? Sonia? When is the next lunch....love to join you guys....

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!

Yes! I am 4 days post op with Dr. Lupti and Rossette. Dr. Rosette did my surgery. I am a little uncomfortable but the surgery went well. I love the process there and I will be at group at 6:00 tomarrow. My name is Ms. Tammie. Will You be there?

      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!
