Issues In Other Areas

Just reading through some threads on one of LBTs sister sites. I found this one particularly interesting.

http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/topic/28467-gastric-sleeve-surgery-complications-of-every-sort-am-i-nuts-please-help-long-sorry

It just verifies for me that all though sometimes we are led to believe that the "grass is always greener on the other side" it is not always so.

Yes exactly. But what strikes me as strange is that the Op has obviously had a really terrible experience with the sleeve yet kj was able to post a positive encouraging message. When anything even slightly bad happens with the band she just gets stuck straight in.

Weird isn't it.

That is what scared me about these other surgeries...how can you repair that? At least the lapband can be removed if need be and your organs are all still intact. So, is there a troll on these boards and the VS boards? I don't know why people bother with that!!

      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!
