To Tell Or Not To Tell



Recommended Posts

I have only discussed w/ my two closest work pals.. Haven't told the boss yet.. And I don't think I will.. I am just going to proceed w filing my claim and off I go! I am doing this for me.. And feel like everyone does not need to know at this point.

I was lucky because one of my coworkers had the surgery 2 years ago. She was very open about her surgery and everyone was very supportive, so I knew I would also get support at work.

I am only telling the close fam as in my mom maybe my dad but I dont plan on telling any one other then that. I guess its because people in my life have alway said things about my weight from fam to doctors. So I guess in not telling any one and I dont plan on seeing the people I dont plan on telling for a while then when they do see the "new" me then frankly they can eat their words about saying I cant lose it! wow that sounded worse here then it does in my head. LOL

understand perfectly Wanda. This process is hard enough with negativity around us. Tell those who you think will support you and just "show" the rest.

      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!
