Ok, I just came across this on my library website and thought it fit perfectly with this discussion. Because...seriously?!
Excerpt from book description:
Hypnotic Gastric Band offers similar results without the risks of surgery: this psychological procedure works to convince the unconscious mind that a gastric band has been put in place, helping the body to behave as if a band were physically present-so it's easy to eat less and lose weight at last, while still feeling completely satisfied.
I had an RNY with absolutely minimal pain. MINIMAL! LOL.

For some weird reason, I didn’t have to do any pre-op diet, I just was NPO after midnight the day before I had surgery, I went in 309lbs on the morning of my surgery, and I weighed today at my two month post of visit and weighed 268lbs
Sorry for your stress and struggles.
Make peace with with your life. Show yourself compassion, forgiveness and unconditional love.
You have the strength to turn this around. Your pre band weight was 245. What you have to lose now is not a large gain. You are back on top of this!
Another note to put on your mirror below.
Enjoy your sunday!
I burp like all the time. I only did that when I was pregnant which was kind of related to nausea. And I have bloating and kind of painful lower abdomen. Like I ate something that didn't agree with me. But it doesn't go away.
