Hello Everyone!!!



Recommended Posts

Hello, my name is Lesli, am 25 years old from Maryland, USA. I've been obese for as long as I remember. Like most, I've tried everything to loose the weight, but it only worked for a few weeks the most. After that I would gain all of it or more back. I've also been the funny one that has tons of guy friends and no boyfriends. But I'm tired of letting obesity rule my life. That's why I've decided to get a Gastric Sleeve. And am having it done in my country. It's going to be expensive, but it doesn't compare to the prices here in the US. I've found the Number one clinic in the country, and the number one surgeon. I don't have a date set. but it will be very soon. I'm soo HAPPY and confident that everything would be great. I'm more then ready to start my new life. Finding that special someone to share my life with. Doing the things I've only dreamed of. And am soo glad I've found a group like this. Ppl that are going thru the same things as me. A group that I can identify with, it feels me up with joy. Please feel free to give me any advise or suggestions. They are more then welcome...

Lesli - So glad that you found us.

I don't know much about doctors in the Dominican, but I know I love that country. I did some Work and Witness trips in the 80's and I fell in love with the people there. I keep telling my husband that I want to go back & I know we will one day.

What kind of questions do you have? You sure sound excited and energetic. I remember those feelings well.

      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!
