Anyone had the common cold/stomach bug after WLS and have it completely knock ya on your booty? -raises hand- currently experiencing this and it is either an intense version of whatever virus, or post op sickness is just different 😂 either way...holy moly I feel terrible.

Same, but it was the flu and i knew it was coming (so I prepped a little)

Get well soon!

Just out of curiosity since I haven’t ate food in like 2 days, I got on the scale. Wanna get 2.5lbs away from goal? Get the stomach bug 😂

Sorry you are sick, I do hope you feel better soon! Getting sick has been a fear of mine since I got the band in 2011... I couldn't imagine what it would be like to get the full on Flu or something super stomachy...

On a side note, you look amazing, congrats on your achievements!

      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!
