To Tell Or Not To Tell



Recommended Posts

I am not telling anyone, mainly because it's none of their business. My husband mentioned to me, if they have the balls to be up front and ask if I had some type of gastric surgery then be up front and tell them, which I will, but until then it's watching what I eat and exercise! :)

I'm not saying this to offend anyone, but it's just my opinion. I tell family/friends or if people ask how I've been losing weight because I feel like people who don't tell want everyone to think that they did it all on their own and that's not true. If you could do it on your own, you wouldn't have needed the band. I just feel like it's kind of selfish to say "Oh, just a different diet" or "Oh, just eating better" when that's not the only reason why you are loosing weight; it's because you had surgery.

Wow, does anyone know how to edit your signature while on your iPhone? My weight is way off, I'm at 311 now. I guess I haven't updated in a while ha ha.

For me I couldn't live with myself keeping it a secret. My oldest sister is three years out. I mentioned this forum and attending support group but she refuses. weight Loss is a full time job. I want to be the next Jennifer Hudson for Lapband. My dream

      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!
