Bright News!



Recommended Posts

Hi folks,

Just thought I'd post a message on behalf of Bright, who was admitted to hospital this evening in preparation for her banding on Tuesday morning.

It happens that I 'met' Bright on this board back in August and she is now due to be operated by the surgeon who put my band in here in France (near Paris).

Just wanted to say she's very nervous but excited all at the same time!

Will update you all on her progress over the next few days. If anyone wants to say hi to her this week, I'll be happy to pass your messages along!

That's it for now.......

Sarah

(Banded 5 Augst 03, down 30 lbs and counting!)

Please let Bright know to walk as much as possible after surgery. She'll feel like a million bucks the day after!

Were all thinking of you Bright!

Hi folks!

Just to let you know that Bright was banded today at 2pm French time and I've just spoken to her by phone and she's awake and well!

Apparently her French is coming on apace and she even laughed at a dishy male nurse's joke as he put some more painkiller in her canula (as he injected the liquid he announced 'un aperitif Madame? with a wink)......

More news tomorrow when I see her - she's been thrilled with all your messages of support! Thanks!

Bye for now,

Sarah

Yay!!! Thanks so much Sarah for letting us know Bright is okay. Tell her that she should outrageously flirt as much as she wants - if her husband complains, she can always blame it on the pain meds. When is that ever going to happen again?!?! lol

Please send Bright love from her porn lover... :cool:

Sarah,

Tell Bright Welcome to the other side...and while you are there make sure she wears every pair of flip-flops she brought with...hate to see her pack and not use them!

Hi All

Many, many thanks for all your good wishes! Bright left hospital today and is now on her way back to Dublin. I'm sure she'll be on the board tonight or tomorrow to give you all an update!

Cheers,

Sarah

      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!
