The psychological visit I had told me that the hardest thing to deal with would be people telling me I was "taking the easy way out". He said that couldn't be further from the truth. I don't tell too many people for that very reason. Unless I deal with someone on a day to day basis, like my immediate family or an extremely close friend, I don't say anything to anyone. It's none of their business. I understand this person who said this to you may be a close friend. Sometimes people say things because they feel threatened in some way. She may be afraid that the dynamics of your friendship might change after your surgery.

If it's one thing I have discovered over the years is that your

True friends are going to stick with you NO MATTER WHAT. I am in the final stages before being approved (if God willing) and I make it a point to only talk to those about my decision that support me and I know who are my friends. I still talk to those who don't support me but not about my surgery. They may bring it up and I'll answer their question but if it goes negative I either change the subject or walk away. Good luck to you!

Was told today by a fairly new friend that I don't deserve the surgery cause I don't do anything to better myself. She wasn't around the weeks I suffered trying to loose weight my whole life

You don't need that at all. You need new friends.

      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!
