I went to the dermatologist about some hair loss(totally unrelated to the band). Long story short I cant do anything to my hair for 3 months except wash/shampoo and wear wigs! i cried like a baby. no weave!!!!!ugh! but on a totally opposite and positive note, when i picked up my prescription from Walmart i decided to buy a pair of XL scrub pants( i usually wear 2X and they are too big) and lo and behold i can fit them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM SOOOOOOOOOO HAPPY!!!! HAPPY DANCE HAPPY DANCE!!!!!!!:D

I know how good that feels! On previous diets I'd only gotten down to a 2XL in scrubs and shirts and stuff. The day I was like ok let me try and the XL scrubs fit I felt the best I'd felt in years. It's a great feeling and congrats!!! Recently I started wearing large scrubs, though the pants are a little uncomfortable still, I was pulling my XL pants up every 5 minutes and that was really annoying.

Congrats on the scrubs! I really enjoy reading these posts! They give others at the beginning of their journey (like me) hope and inspiration and the confidence that we too can succeed!!!

Thank you for that!

Congrats! The wigs will be fine. They are much cheaper. I wore them all the time when I was growing out my hair to go natural. I just got someone to braid my hair underneath. It should make your hair grow fast just as long as you keep it washed, conditioned, and moisturized.

      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!
