Here's a funny thought. ..



Recommended Posts

I was taking these pre op seminars at the Bariatric treatment center . They were part of the pre surgery insurance requirements.

The center is on the third floor of a medical billing. when I showed up for the seminars each week I noticed I was the only person taking the stairs, the other started noticing me coming down the stairs, when they got off the elevator, yet they still took the elevator.

I think it's the little things in life...

too cute :D

Welcome to our "humble" little group :) :lol:

you are a newbie, yet you are already posting cute/funny thoughts!!! :unsure:

OMG - to all the rest of "us"

better watch out for her :lol:

if physically able, ALL people should walk up stairs as frequently as possible

you walking up/down those stairs - shows that your mindset is preparing for your new life with the sleeve :)

(I'm biased, but IMO the sleeve is the way to go!!)

you have a great attitude :)

keep walking UP those stairs while your weight goes DOWN :)

good luck

speedy recovery

At my recent pre-op nutrition seminar I got to hear a fellow pre-op discuss her awesome smoothie regimen. When questioned about her weight gain it turned out her smoothies were cherry slurpees and mcdonalds mango. But they were on sale! She exclaimed. Sigh. :)

      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!
