Unfortunately, others have posed similar questions in the past,. and later expressed their intent to do so. We are only trying to convey the complications in such a venture. SO, yes, we have heard of people considering it. I personally don't know anyone who has gotten away with it successfully. Posting the question is not a good thing to do if you are considering it, anyway. :thumbup:

Silly bandsters. We all just "read into" an innocent, innocent question.

but the question has moral and legal issues that should not be ignored, nor the practise encouraged. Previous discussuions were ended on this site, when the discussion ran towards 'how to'. The question was not innocent.

Interesting. OTOH, I was told not to be judgmental re. people faking their weight.

There's never any harm in asking but always be prepared for answers you may not expect of agree with.

      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.

        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!
