Ugh, I hate that. Aside from the fact that it's not easy (it's not like it's liposuction!), it almost comes across to me as "you don't deserve easy" when I hear about people saying it. Yeah. Cuz growing up fat was easy. Continually losing weight on diets and gaining it back was easy. Feeling huge and having to fear waking up in the morning and not being able to fit in your pants is easy. God forbid someone would do something that might make weight loss and a healthier lifestyle a little easier for them.

I would say "yup, I did take the easy way" and then give one of those sinester laughs while walking away... Hehe, or you could ask her why she prefers the hard way? see what she says then

Well, it has by no means been the easiest diet i've been on but it has definately been the most successful!

We use tools every day to make out life easier. Cars, dishwashers, vacuume cleaners, computers and cell phones, in my opinion the lap band is no different and people who think it is the "easy way" are too ignorant on the subject for me to even care about!

When they create a band that blocks my desire for chocolate chip Cookies then I'll say it's easy way....as you all said this is hard.it's not liposuction and you can fail your band.it's risky but worth it !:-)

      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!
