CBC Obesity doc



Recommended Posts

CBC News - The Lens will be showing a documentary "Morbidly Obese" on CBC Aug. 8 and again on Newsworld Aug. 12. It follows 3 people who "suffer from a multitude of ailments -from asthma and high blood pressure to diabetes and sleep apnea. Morbidly Obese follows these extremely overweight Canadians who have struggled with obesity, and who chose to undergo radical bariatric surgery."

Now I don't know if "radical bariatric surgery" means something other than banding or if they think all bariatric surgery is radical.

OK, guys, it's the 8th so the doc should be on regular CBC sometime this evening. I don't have a tv schedule so I don't know the time but I would imagine either 7,8 or 9 o'clock.

      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!
