You CAN do it. I didn't want to call my doctor the FIRST time to get this surgery in the first place...I was very embarrassed. But, I figured, what have I got to lose? I mean, besides weight ;-) . I decided that I didn't care what my doctor's opinion of me is...and I care about other people's opinions (I know...bad). I don't hang out with him. He's not a close friend. I looked at him as a tool to get me where I want to be.

The best thing about the band is that you are NOT a failure. The band means you can get a fill and be back on track easily!

Just call. Pretend you are not embarrassed. Pretend you are not scared. Pretend you have been succeeding and fell on a small setback (which you did). In my life, I have found that pretending to be something else usually results in my becoming that person eventually. So pretend to be all the best that you want to be, and then, one day, you'll wake up and see that you ARE that person.

Good luck!

  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.

    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!
