Loving That There's An LGBTQ Place :)



Recommended Posts

Yes, I'm slow and late to the show but I'm loving that VST has a place for LGBTQ members! How awesome! I noticed it's a little quiet, but that's okay, because it EXISTS...YAY! :)

I'm sorry for stumping you. It stands for Lesbian Gay Bi Trans *****/Questioning- we've used it for years in the gaming community, so I guess I just used it here as well. :)

Good to see you here, OneWritersSoul. It's not super active all the time, but it is great that there is a place on these boards for LGBTQ folks.

Hello!!!!

I will be 7 mo post op on the 25th and I'm hoping to be at 100 lb loss by then!!!

My wife's been super supportive! I am thankful for my sleeve- it was the consistency I couldn't do/have alone without it!!

I'm 32 and a mental health counselor/therapist!

Hi "family" :-) I am 5 weeks post-op today. Weight is slowly but steady coming off. Getting used to the "new way of life." I do NOT regret having the sleeve! My partner is my biggest supporter & my biggest fan. She rocks!!!

      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!
