I Notice this board is predominantly women, I'm not complaining but where are the men? Let's stand together!

Did u see the topic just for men? Maybe that's where they are. I appreciate your comments often though.

To start with, only 20 percent of all sleevers are men. We're out here jimmie. We're just outnumbered.

My hubby is sleeved but has neither the time nor the desire to join a message board! I've tried, but it's not his thing. <_<

So I just wanted to tell you that there ARE men sleevers out there, but typically the men just are NOT as chatty as the women.

Here. I left a post about being the only guy at the bariatric center. I thought for a bit that I was the only guy who had wls surgery. The office staff laughed and said there were a few men but the majority were women.

Well... gee... us women aren't all that bad. It's nice there are a few good WLS men out there, but we don't bite. At least I don't (admit it).

I had surgery mid Jan. I honestly think there are differences between men and women on this journey, but there are a lot of similarities.

If you have any questions, feel free to PM.

      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!
