I wore this black T-shirt for St. Patrick's Day 2011 as my 3 Year Bandiversary – 3 years since lapband surgery and when I did the laundry and went to fold it and put it away for another season, it struck me how small it seemed to me compared to my Tshirt I had on in the fall of 2007 when my cousins from Germany came to visit. I got this blue Tshirt when Michelle and I went to Sanibel Island and ate at the Cheeburger Cheeburger where they have huge hamburgers that are so so good and I got a Tshirt that I thought was really cute and funny at the time… not that I thought being big myself was funny but just being defiant that I wanted to live life and be happy no matter my size. I can't see me ever walking around with a Tshirt that says Big is Better ever again.

Thank you all for supporting me in my lapband journey -- I'm trying to move on and finish this last 50 lbs before my 4th bandiversary.

:P

For some reason I still wear all my pre surgery t-shirts and bras. I have lost about 98 pounds and am Hopi g for about 10 more.

      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.

      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!
