I know you'll be coming down here to Florida soon, Disney is a blast. I was in 3 coasters today at Busch Gardens with my fearless granddaughter, Katie; Cheetah Hunt, The Scorpion, and Sheekra, all gut-wrenching screamers. Could not fit in the seats pre-sleeve, slid right in today.

Empowerment ahead! :)

16 days out from having my lap band removed and sleeve done. I am so pleased with the way it feels when i eat. The food goes all the way down into my stomach and doesnt get stuck in my throat leaving me feeling frustrated and unfullfilled. Best thing i ever did! I had the revision done because i started having enormous amounts of reflux after 3 years with the lap band. If I kept the band loose i didnt have the reflux but i started gaining my weight back. I had the revision done before i gained it all back. my wt was 198 and i'm down to 185 in 16 days. wish i would have had the sleeve done in the first place.

      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'. ???

        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!
