Girly from Scotland



Recommended Posts

Hi there folks

I live in Aberdeen Scotland. I'm having my lapband fitted on Nov 19 in Prague. I'm so excited about my future becoming slim, but I have all these fears that I'm going to be the only one it doesn't work on and I've been reading all these things on the net about it not working on people and "fill issues" on the band.

Does anyone have any good encouraging words for me, I really need it. Never met anyone or known anyone "apart from Sharon Ozborne" who's had it done.

Lynsay from Scotland. xx:kiss2:

Hi Lynsay!

I live in Aberdeen also!

But in Washington State in the United States!

Welcome!

All of us are lifetime failures at dieting and keeping off weight. That reality makes us question whether or not the Lap-Band will work for us, when we have failed so many times before. The Lap-Band is DIFFERENT, because it puts a physical LIMIT on how much we can hurt ourselves. Also, anyone who isn't nervous about having MAJOR SURGERY is very unusual.

The one branch of my family that I traced back, over 150 years, came from England, but I know from oral family history that some of my ancestry is Finn.

Just as your Aberdeen means a confluence of rivers, our town was named for that.

Situated on Grays Harbor, we have 7 rivers within a short distance, but the ones the founders were interested in were the Wishkah, the Chehalis and the Hoquiam rivers.

Known as "The birthplace of grunge", Aberdeen has a number of well-known natives, notably Kurt Cobain and Chris Novoselic of the group "Nirvana".

Originally a logging town, Aberdeen now has a diverse economic base, with logging still playing a major part in the economy.

      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.

        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!
