I feel that there is not just one right answer for any given question.

I think that one person may be able to say something better then another.

I feel that someone may have a way about them to get their point across without causing hurt or fear.

I wonder how many times a question is asked when it becomes too many.

I certainly have seen that those who comment on those that ask the same questions over and over again have probably seen someone else post the same or similar thread.

I wonder if there is more then one way to learn something. Do people all learn by being told once, I don't know...How about three times, or ten. Does it really matter in the entire scheme of things.

If we are all teachers and have experienced this marvelous experience of WLS. Wouldn't it be amazing if we could put it out there without getting tired to teach others what we have experienced or learned through all this.

How much do we give when we have paid it forward enough.

Is there a time when you or I might be just the person to say what needs to be said so that another will say oh, okay I got this or I understand that now. I am okay with that part of this journey!

I wonder! I really do.

RJ, your musings are thoughtful and I believe they can be applied to any situation in life, not just WLS. So many different people that are from different backgrounds, cultures, belief systems, self-awareness, and stages of any journey have different levels of understanding and comprehension (not always the same thing). Those who go before can either pave the way and maintain the road, or they can just walk along and admire the view-neither activity wrong or right, just different.

Hope you are well my friend, namaste.

      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.

        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!
