Why don't ppl mind their business? I haven't even went on my first appt.. but i am serious and I am determined to make this happen... I was commenting to someone about it and another person tells me with exercise and a good diet anyone can lose weight.. If it were that easy wouldn't we all be skinny??? I have tried everything and I lose little to no weight or I yo-yo.. it's not like you get surgery and that's it you lose weight.. you do need a proper diet and you need to exercise.

I didn't feel the need to explain myself so I told that person to mind their business :-)

LOL you told them right there are so many people who make comments without thinking and are so judgemental this is one reason people do not like going to the gym as well. Congrats on your choice to being healthy , I can tell you that I am 3 months post opt and this was the best decision that I ever made. Good luck and keep us posted.

Welcome to your first lesson in keeping your mouth closed about your choice to have surgery. It shouldn't be that way, but it is. The comments, attitudes, and snears will come and that's the primary reason I'm not saying a damn thing to anybody.

I really could care less what people think and I'll have plenty to focus on after surgery besides other people's thoughts about my choice. It's insulting and rude to say the least, but for some reason people seem to come out of the woodwork with their 2 cent comments about WLS. Not interested.

And that's the trouble with inviting fools to your table (so to speak): You then get to listen to them yammer all night long.

I think a side benefit of WLS is learning how not to spread our business all over the place.

      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.

        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!
