I have been lucky and every single person that knows has been supportive. Her being morbidly obese with really high blood pressure is just a stroke or heart attack waiting to happen. How can she do that to her family???? At least having surgery gives you a chance at a long healthy life. I can't stand rude a$$ people. She needs to keep her mouth shut.

You will be so happy when it is all said and done :)

Well, no one can make you have the surgery, so you can still ditch it until the last day if it came down to it. The sooner you get his figured out the better though, and I think there might be some financial penalties if you *were* to dtich this at the last minute.

I have gone ahead and done it. It's not a small or easy thing though. However, if you have red flags of health problems looming in your future, then the risks of not having the sleeve gastrectomy can be greater than the risks of having it - that was my own personal conclusion for me.

      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!
