Hello everyone I'm a new Member,
I live in nashville. had my surgery 3 years ago, and have lost 103 pds. Went from a 20-22 jeans to a size 6. Wish I have had the surgery years ago. Being the largest kid in grade school was so bad. Had so many friends ,but nobody wants a heavy girl friend. So I was the one that made jokes and everyone thought I was funny. My surgery was with Dr. Morton at Baptist Hospital. I've only had to have one ajustment, lost so much weight in 2 months they had to take out some from my pouch. I have kept my weight off for 2 years now.I need to post a before and after picture. The hanging skin doesn't look good ,but clothes will cover that up.. The only question I have for anyone who has had the surgery is the uncontrolable gas. I know that sounds funny, but I have gas when I eat or don't eat. My family and freinds calls it the walking farts LOL.
Does anyone else have this problem? If you do could you help me stop it. Before the surgery I never would let anyone ever know that I had gas.Now it just slips out and I can't control it. I'm 58 and have been married for 41 years. He has always loved me no matter what size I was , but know it's like he has a new wife he can pick up and I'm not bigger than him.
Thanks,
Brenda
