Elmer Fu_ _?

I know an Elmer. He stutters.

But he's the nicest guy you'd ever wanna know.

Now we have an Elmer's pancake House, but Dawg and I haven't been there since he first arrived in Boise, back in April of 99. :)

CBMI (according to NIH website) 39.1

i.e. I wouldn't qualify for surgery anymore! (not like I did anyway with insurance...)

I didn't know about all of your kids La_Madam. My hear goes out to you. Cancer runs strong in my DH's family. He was diagnosed at 20.

You are definitely a strong woman.

Well Herrroooo September thread! Ok, I posted in the August thread about the tattoo but I wanted to share it here too.

Yesterday I decided I wanted a tattoo to kind of cover my diaphram scar. It's color has been bothering me. My skin, pale around my belly and my scar was very dark.

I wanted something significant and relevant to why the scar was there. The scar meant "change". The Scar represents the Changes I wanted in me. I wanted to lose the weight, become more active, live longer, look better. It's the Scar of Change and thats what the Chinese Symbols mean.

Forgive me if this picture offends anyone. Please send me a PM if it does. I'll take it down.

The tattoo looks excellent, might have something to do with the canvas too tho. You look super skinny.

      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!
