I haven't lost enuf to "feel" any changes, but one thing the band has given me is HOPE !!! I am definitly happier than before.

Losing what I've lost, and having hope that I'll lose what I want to lose has given me the power to be me again. When I graduated high school and joined the 'corporate world' I was determined that my fat was not going to get in my way, and so I was going to conform to whatever I needed to conform to so that I wouldn't get discounted or dismissed for any reason. In high school my hair was blue and green and so were my fingernails, and I would design all sorts of outfits to wear and as my mom says I would 'leave the house looking exactly the way I wanted to look'. Now my hair will probably not go wacky like that again unless I can start making oodles of money outside the corporate world, but my fingernails have, and I've started looking for cute clothes again and designing outfits again. I had locked away "myself" to become what I thought the world wanted me to be, and now it's time to unlock all those doors.

      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!
