Not Much Of A Story. . .



Recommended Posts

Sooo a few months ago I weighed my self and was 399lbs (I'm also 6'1). I thought I will be damned if I hit 400. I've been though the diets and stuff nothing ever worked very long. Both of my parents have had WLS as well so I kinda know what I'm in for. But my main reason for having the surgery is my son. He turns one in August and I want to be able to play with him, run around with him and be there for him as he grows up. That's what I've been concentrating on, but reading this forum I've started thinking about the Other fun stuff too. Like I. Will be able to ride roller coasters, fit in movie theater seats, that kind of stuff not to mention wearing seat belts and sitting in booths. I'm still jumping through the hoops but will be having the surgery about September. I'm sure I'm going to have lots of questions and I'm glad I found a place to ask them.

I know its going to be hard (i have just begun the process, have 2 more months of nutrition classes before i get a date) but i am excited for those moments when i can do something like cross my legs, fit in a booth, walk with out being in pain.This is such a great forum, so much information and support. good luck, looking forward to seeing you on the losers side ;)

Welcome :) I started my weight loss journey 10 months ago. I had to do 6 months with a dietician and I got insurance approval 2 weeks ago and I hav surgery August 3rd so 8 days away. What has gotten me through this long process was my daughter and husband.

      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!
