Awww I am sorry! I have had my share of people (strangers usually) that have made similar comments since I carry so much of my wieght in my stomach. it hurts and is embarrasing for everyone, but how stupid of people to assume. Yay you are not going to have to deal with this again!

Heard that ALL the time! I carried all my weight in my mid section, I also used to buy plus size maternity cuz it fit better. One day my nephew came up and asked if I was pregnant, I responded No, he said "oh, my mom says you look like you are!" That same sister in law went shopping with me the other day when I had to track down a size 8 jean at one of their other stores! She has always been a petite size 5 -5'2" and cannot and will not ever understand!

Same here. I have been overweight most of my life. I just had my surgery on July 30, 2012. I am so happy that pretty soon people will not be asking me if I'm pregnant. Just ignore those people and move along. Think about what we will look like in a year from our surgery. We will no longer be asked if we are pregnant. Hurray!

      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!
