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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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?
