Wow...

I just have to tell you something. But first I have to say that I don't really know where to post this. I don't know if I should be posting this or if I should write an email to someone.

I have to tell you what a great forum this is. This forum is soooooo much better than the other large forum out there I just don't have words to express my thoughts.

I can come here, admit I had surgery in Mexico and I am not slam dunked by the nasty people of the world. I am not told how stupid I am, I am an idiot, I should know better, blah blah blah. I happen to like my surgeon and I would have surgery again in Mexico ANY 'ol day!

I don't have other members here chasing me down trying to sell me stupid CDs on visualizing my weight loss becoming a reality (my band does that for me just fine). I don't have people telling me I'm a total loser because I am not a Christian. I don't have annoying people following me from thread to thread to tell me about all the other people they don't like.

Holy crap! NORMAL people post on this site! I am so thrilled, you just have no idea. I no longer feel like I am a first grader again with the people around me. Folks here are adults and they behave as such!

This was really confirmed for me when I saw that two people who made me want to scream in frustration from the "other" board... well, they have had their accounts suspended here. YeeHAWWWWW! Things are done well here.

I have little experience seeing Mods post here but from what little I have seen LBT doesn't use bigots for mods but they use real people instead. Nobody is trying to sell me anything, I absolutely love it here.

The posters here are fun, they are warm, they are friendly, they want to have a good time, they are real, they have a great sense of humor, the topics are great, the mods are normal, the threads are allowed to live a life of their own, ... I'm just sincerely very impressed.

I promise you, my intent here is not to diss the other forum, it really isn't. But I can't help but to make comparisons between the two. It's just very nice here and someone deserves to know that.

You guys do a great job, tell me where to send this via email and I will. I was so annoyed and frustrated I closed out my account at the other place. Now I am regretting that, I wish I would have told the normals to come over HERE and THEN closed out my account.

Seriously, I've been a mod before and it is no easy task. I like that the mods join in on the discussions, they participate, they are friendly. It's not easy trying to please everyone but you guys seem to do a great job.

Cheers.

      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.

        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!
