Memorializing The Big Day!!!



Recommended Posts

Hey I'm getting banded Monday, Sept. 15th and in honour of that day I brought my "Fat Jeans" to work and am having all my friends and lovely supporters sign it.

I'm of course going to include my family and even my wonderful surgical staff!!!

Did you guys do anything to commemorate the day? If so what did you do?

Here are my pants. I've got a few sigs, but I'll have more by Friday!!!!!!

My Docs orientation seminar had a lady who did that. I thought it was a great idea, but forgot all about it. But the other day it just popped right back into my head. I'm also going to do a tape mold of my body. (If I have the time.)

Sounds great to me! I have met a few others on here that are being banded the same day. I love your blog as well - it is exactly how I feel!

That is such an awesome idea! I had thought about getting a tattoo after reaching goal, but the thought of getting one to mark the day of my new start sounds good too.

I've thought about getting a tat as well. I'm not sure about it, but I have been doing some artwork and trying to figure out what would mean a lot to 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.

      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!
