Hey Ya'll, You Guessed It I'm From Texas! Just Wanted To Introduce Myself. I Have Been Reading Posts For About A Month. I Am 32, Married To A Wonderful Man This Time, Lol.... I Have 2 Boys And 1 Girl. They Keep Me Busy! I Work As A Nurse So My Schedule Is Hectic. I Am Waitng On The Insurance Company To Say Git-r-done!!! I Still Have To Go For A Physical. Did My Bloodwork Already. Just Playing The Waiting Game. Anyway, I Hope To Meet Some People From The Ft. Worth Area. Maybe Make Some New Friends. Ya'll Know How Intimidating It Can Be To Try To Make New Friends Being What They Call "morbidly Obese". Hope To Talk To Some Of Ya'll Soon.. I WILL BE HAVING MY LAP BAND WITH DR. MARSDEN FROM LEWISVILLE, TX. I'M 5'5" AND 274#. I HAVE AT LEAST 125 LBS TO LOSE. I WAS ALWAYS BIG BONED NOT REALLY THAT FAT NOW THAT I LOOK BACK AT THE PICTURES I DIDN'T LOOK AS BAD AS I THOUGHT. AFTER GETTING PREGNANT THE WEIGHT NEVER CAME BACK OFF. I LOVE GOING TO CURVES TO EXERCISE, SO HOPEFULLY THAT WILL HELP THE PROCESS GO A LITTLE FASTER AFTER I GET BANDED. JAMIE

Guess what?! I live in Sanger, and I am getting an appt. with Dr. Marsden in Lewisville, too!!! I am working on the 10 page form now, having letters written to the insurance company. My insurance will cover the surgery, if I qualify :rolleyes ...BMI 40 (estimate), joint pain, numerous failed attempts at weight loss, etc...I am 5'7" and weigh in the neighborhood of 280, so I have some serious weight to lose. I have a 7 year old daughter, and I'm kinda fond of walking, so must take off weight so I can prowl the parks at WDW again, without pain this time! Since you're a little ahead of me, would you mind being a bit of guide for me? You KNOW we both have that good ol' Texas hospitality! Let's "Git-R-Done!"

      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!
