Thanks, Gina! I appreciate your offer!

I hadn't thought about doing the audiobook thing; which is odd, when I drive across the state to visit my folks I always listed to audiobooks! LOL I might have to check out the audible.com site. I just got a Zune for Christmas and that might be a great option. :)

I agree -- hate driving to the "other side" no matter what side that is...

Good point!

Bridgette, who is going to do your surgery? Dr. Terracina did mine over three years ago. Welcome and I wish you the best.

Good Morning Hampton Roads, no posts for over a month, how is everyone doing?

Carla, I think that was my mother you met at your fill, she had on a pretty blue blouse and black slacks and the typical greatgrandma gray hair, LOL.

Gr8t, how are you doing?

Take care all.

HarleyNana,

That is so funny...what are the odds! She does look like the typical grandma but she sure is spry and she was telling Dr. T about her new car.

What a small world!

Carla

HarleyNana, I'm so anxious about getting banded. I start the pre op diet this Wednesday. Also, I see you live in Yorktown. So do I! In fact I went to the beach music concert on the river last night. I live in Foxwood. We're also close in age. (I'm 54) :(

HarleyNana, have you been satisfied with your results? How long did you have to wait before your first fill?:(

DJ, I had this huge post, then lost it. I'll pm you with my phone numbers. I'd love to talk to you, I love my band, I have only one regeret and that is that the band was not available when I was 30 years younger.

      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!
