"Humans are the fattest species on record at birth. A baby human is born with about 15 percent body fat—a higher percentage than any other species in the world. Only a small number of other mammals make it into the double digits at birth: about 11 percent for guinea pigs and around 10 percent for harp seals, for example. Even our nearest primate relatives are not born as fat as we are."

@Frustr8 Why aren't you listing your most current surgery as your surgery date? Just curious.

Well if you're referring to that stinky profile, it's almost all wrong. AND my true facts Starting to seek August 15th 2015, that's when I first met Surgeon #1, the back- stabbing fool that let me go through his program not,once but,twice and then refused me surgery. The second time I returned to HIM , I count as my,Highest weight of 355. Leeft him after he repudiated me and my,efforts,in February 2018, cried, raged and signed into right facility's program March 9th 2018, had my presurgical exam with Dr Needleman 7/17/2018 at 334, went on all-August livershrinking diet, surgery 9/05/2018 at 319, am losing 3-5 pounds weekly, most of time, never stalled because of stricture running my recovery, yesterday morning, after converting back from metric 278.9 pounds. Any,other surgery dates are so erroneous it stinks. Why do I not repair them? Because,i am working off of Android Marshmallow app not computer, every change slides away like eggs on teflon, the profile returns nothing. FYI I have had 2 post- surgery endoscopies and facing another, 10/1218,10/26/18 and 11/09/18. and nothing has worked yet, after 3 failed attempts do they do "open" or am I doing this in perpetuity every 2 weeks? Je Ne Sais, French for IT,Iand of course they are all EGJ because a Bypassers. duodenum no longer visible, only Jejunem. That is a certanity!

      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!
