Will you lie about the surgery?



Recommended Posts

I have not lied about it at all. I mean it's not like it's a secret that I am heavy and it will be obvious that something significant has happened. Everyone I have told is very supportive and excited for me!

Funny.. I've told just about everyone and the only people who have given me a hard time are the skinny over achiever types... you know... so skinny the still look like a sickly 12year old at 40... they are SO sure I could lose all this weight with just a few small changes in my diet. I just thank them for their concern and say... next time I see you ill be skinnier! I then get a very concerned look as I walk away smiling and glad that at least I'm not shaped like a 12 year old boy :)... most everyone is excited for me

My primary care physician suggested that I have wls due to my comorbidities. That's exactly what I'm going to tell people. How can they argue with me taking the advice of my physician?

...I am not some hillbilly deep wooded fantasy image, I don't approve this example, I'll lie as well and call it a lie easily when you bring it up as well, so, I spurted some pro-lie spunk and the thread is to strange with this anti-lie matter in it, to be realistic at all, why a huge laugh of it as well, so what the fudge, what's that laugh added for as well, ??, and so what and who cares any more, good night.

Hey JKG - you called yourself a hillbilly. No one else. In fact, no one was name calling until your reply. If you don't get the dripping sarcasm in my post, just don't reply. We were all having a good bit of fun with this discussion here.

Choosing to tell or not tell about the surgery is a personal call. I was offering some sarcastic one line comebacks if someone had the rudeness to press you about the type of surgery you are having. Sheesh.

I wouldn't lie but I also won't tell anyone if it's none of their business. I have told my manager I might (because I'm not approved yet) have to have surgery. I'm in HR and she's an HR manager so she knows not to ask for specifics. Lies tend to catch up with you. What if you lied about the surgery and down the road you actually had to have that same type of surgery for real. Would you lie about that surgery too?

Maybe it's the lack of punctuation and the run on sentences, but I can't follow what he's saying either.

      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!
