Hi Everyone!

My name is Renee and I live in Houston. I am scheduled for surgery on 8/31/05! Can't wait for the big day!! I have 2 kids 19 & 12. My hubby passed away 2 years ago. I currently weigh close to 280 and hoping to lose 120 pounds. I lost 70 lbs on Atkins about 3 1/2 years ago, but after hubby passed I gained it all back plus. I have lost 30 lbs in the last year but gained 10 pounds back in the last few months. Can't wait for this new start!

welcome and good luck to you on your upcoming surgery. I'll be having mine in Jan of '06.... have to get my finances in order first as I'm a self pay. You have a great attitude.

Welcome fellow Texan! Be sure to check out the Texas support board for some bandsters near you! I'm north of Dallas, even north of Denton, and too close to Oklahoma for comfort! (no offense to the Okies!) Good luck with everything, see you around the boards! Cindy

      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!
