something that urks me



Recommended Posts

i to my dr monthly to weigh in and STILL hear people telling people in the lobby/waiting area how bad the band is and it dont work and it has to be removed..i do not comment or anything....as mike and others pointed out, you are going to encounter neg people all the time...

what works for some may not work for others

things happen (complications etc) but NOT always

results with any WLS varies...maybe doctors fault, maybe patients, maybe the WLS itself

or a combo of them.....but what we all have in common (failed bands people i know well via the other forums and they do use scare tactics and when i started, they scared the f**k out of me).....what we have in common is a want to lose weight.......

i say use whatever WLS you get (and) make it work the best you can

i have only today to focus on......i cant and wont spend my life with what if this and what if that

i lost 3 yrs to being super morbid obese...i am working hard to enjoy and live my life NOW

as we all should..

so ignore the ones who are negative as hard as that is to do

i know as i get hammered on here for being (tough and not all butterflies/sugar dumplings)

i will say this....own it....be responsible for you and show the world what the WLS you have/get

does work......that will shut them up.....well, maybe not LOL

      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.

      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!
