confessing to being a failure



Recommended Posts

It's not what you think. I am confessing to being dangerous around a computer, so inadequate. I am being banded tomorrow----yea yea..... In the last weeks I have found this site invaluable, such wonderful people sharing their journeys. Well I started out as freedom09. Everyone has a ticker and I also wanted to be "July09 Freedom Fighters". I read and read, and found wonderful instructions on how to do it, well if you look at some of my postings, I ended up with 2 tickers and my Freedom banner. I tried and tried to erase, delete, etc. To my embarrasment, I just rejoined lapbandtalk. and now I'm 09Freedom. I finally saw the light, and stumbled thru and got it right. So this is a new beginning--- I'm 60 and I'm just thrilled about making my life better. I have a loving husband and family who are very supportive. Now I have all of you to help me, hoping I can add to your journey also.

GO " Jully 09 FREEDOM FIGHTERS"

      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!
