Woohooo I got the job ! *Rave on* :)



Recommended Posts

I got my new job as a contract firefighter ! Thank you lapband ! The job is a contract firefighting job in Iraq for a year.

I have mentioned it a few times but got the official phone call today saying my plane ticket will be in by Friday. I leave for Houston on January 7th and then the Middle East a week later. I am so stoked about this.

I actually had this job 2 years ago but was kicked back because I was to fat :nervous so thanks to the lapband I am now healthy and eligible for the position. I am feeling like a kid in a candy store right now ! I am obviously nervous but just excited as hell.

Just wanted to tell everyone on here THANK YOU because this site has been great for support and even through ups and downs with some of you on crazy things I still appreciate everyone the same. We are all like some dysfunctional family on crack lol

I don't know how much I will be around once I ship out so just wanted to say never give up and keep on moving because your dreams are there for the taking.

Thanks again everyone ! :clap2:

      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!
