speedy recovery for you. Welcome to the other side!

That's exciting, I want to do the same thing.

I suffer from depression after surgery, had horrible post partum, felt like I was elevated and couldn't get down! It passed though, and so will this emotional whirlwind. I attribute my struggles now to losing 42 pounds in 8 weeks. My hormones are everywhere.

I know how you are feeling. Been through almost same situation, then he wanted to call me crying and blah blah but I'm like you were not crying when you made a fb behind my back & was creeping. Life is so much sweeter without the lies and cheating

Some people don't know what they have until it's gone. You can do a bad all by yourself!

I didn't have one as my survey was 45 minutes

Did you take test?

Today was my first encounter with someone asking me this. I was at work & just rambling about weight loss & how many ounces an average stomach can hold. Then out of the blue, a coworker asked me the dreaded question that I was hopeful I could avoid. DID YOU HAVE THE LAPBAND?🤦🏾‍♀️ Now I had already prepared myself for when this question that I was avoiding was asked, but I had to step back & really ask myself 1. Do I fess up? 2. Ask them how is this of pertinence to them? 3. Do I lie? Oh oh my goodness, the only response I could muster was "Maby I did, maby I didn't". I don't know why I even give two damns about others opinions but maby it stems from the last journey I had trying to shred the EL 🐝. People at my previous job accused me of starving myself & I feel people generally have a negative view in regards to bariatric surgery. Just had had to share for those who kept it a secret. P.S I eat lunch with coworkers and sometimes in my office but it's been hard to hide why I eat the way I do. I won't be the first nor the last to undergo WLS. We should be proud of our decisions & yet should still maintain secrecy if we CHOOSE.

Please keep us updated!

Do you think it could be a hernia? I saw lady on yt with same issue and that's what it was.

My period is on SO HEAVY! I have never had a period this heavy in my life. Heard it's common though.

You ate an entire box of pizza? I think you need to really remember why you had wls & understand the negative impacts you can have on your body by doing this. I don't understand how it's humanly possible to eat an entire box of pizza with a small tummy. You already ate the pizza so that's done, but I've not heard of anything like this before.

Not go with the sleeve, reflux is almost guaranteed if you had prior with band.

I read that Mgb can cause reflux also.

What do you take if you have reflux? I have a constant burning sensation in my throat. My dr prescribed famotide and I stopped it for twos and now the burn is always here.

I continue to hear that long term use of ppi's will cause harm and increase chance for cancer and for ulcers. I don't know the data behind it, just what I've read.

Yes I keep reading long term use can do more harm, thank you

Psssh nvm I'm only "411" the struggle is real hahaha.

One things for sure, you look AMAZING! how tall are you? Your first pic is exactly size I was starting off.

I understand!

I understand!

I understand!

How much weight have you lost? I have seen videos about this on YouTube, for some it was due to low sugar or blood pressure. One lady I follow on yt has an appt today to find out why she keeps fainting. Hope you feel better.

Hopefully you won't, I mean I have heard of someone who had leak ans needed a total gastrectomy. I'm glad they found it now though because I have heard of leaks at 7 months out. I feel you will be healed and won't need a revision to bypass!
