South AL/ South MS - Where are you?



Recommended Posts

I have been lurking around this site for weeks but not really posting. I am just curious as to why so few people from South Alabama and South Mississippi seem to be on this site. I live in Mobile County. I was banded on June 15th in Pascagaoula, MS. I sure would love to hear from y'all!!!! :(

I'm so glad to hear from you!! We southerners need to stay in touch! I was banded Dec. 31, 2009. I've only lost 25 lbs. i'm still trying to get my fill right. I live in McComb, Ms about 90 miles north of New Orleans. 18 miles from the La. line. My Dr. is in Gonzaales, La. (Dr. Drake Bellanger) I really like him, but he is taking too long to get my fills right, or maybe I'm just frustrated.:scared2: i can still eat too much!! Let me know how you had such great success!!:cheers2:

      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!
