Hi. newbie from tennessee



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. I just went thru a new patient seminar last night. Thank goodness I found this site before I went there. I'm more confident of my decision from what I've read here than from the Dr. talking last night. I'm still scared and very, very nervous about all this. I will find out on Monday about my insurance and all that. I've been doing LA weight loss and curves in the past year, so I'm hoping that will count to any 6 month thing I might want to do.

This site is a hugh blessing to me. To know that I'm not the only one scared and freaking out is hugh. It has also shown me how in control my food addiction is. A real eye opener to me.

I'm glad that I can come here and have real people answer all the questions I have or the things I'm going thru.

Mollie,

Congratulations on making the decision to make your future a healthy one! This site is a great place for information and support. I think at some point in this journey we have all been confused and afraid. Just educate yourself as much as you can and if you have any questions, ask them! Take care, good luck, and keep us posted on your progress!

Thanks. I have to say that at the seminar I told one of the nurses about the site. She didn't know about it, and was banded herself. If I may ask. how do you get the "stuff" like the weight loss thing and the stuff where you can record the dates? For some reason I'm feeling that this is important to me to check things off.

      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!
