getting very discouraged



Recommended Posts

Erin- I think you really need someone to talk to and help you sort out your priorities and issues... You sound (just from your posts on here) like you have alot going on and not dealing with it all very well... Life isn't going to get any easier (unfortunately!). Have you ever spoken to a psychologist or counselor of some kind? I don't mean to sound condescending, I know we can all relate to being a overwhelmed teen! If you don't mind me asking, how old were you when you got banded??

Hang in there. You will figure out how to get it all worked out. It just may take you a little longer than your original plan. Do your best with staying away from bad food choices and hang in there. You have so much life ahead of you and this is just a little bump in the road.

That is just like telling an already pregnant teen that teens should not get pregnant. She already has the band.

It's a done deal. If you think teens should not get banded it's not going to help this situation.

Yes you are right... But it could help someone else....

      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!
