Woohoo! And the ball's a-rollin'!



Recommended Posts

I attended the seminar with my surgeon this evening and scheduled my appointment with the nurse practitioner. Apparently, St. Louis is just chugging out the Lap Band, because the soonest appt they had available was June 30th. However, a nurse working the seminar said they were opening some new slots and if I call first thing tomorrow morning, she could work me in earlier. Yay!

Halfway through the seminar, my mom leaned over and whispered, "You really should just do gastric bypass". Holy moly, no. I may be fat, but I'm healthy. No comorbidities, no high blood pressure, no diabetes, nothing. Not even asthma. I am in no hurry for drastic, crazy results and the whole idea of GB makes me really uncomfortable. So I was glad she was there to see both sides.

How are you all doing? Any fun news?

      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.

      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!
