call me a doubting thomas, but I wondered if she was doing a bit of an anne diamond, not admitting to sugery. And fern, she is keeping rather quiet about her own weight loss isnt she. Good for both of them, I am not critisising in any way. If they have been banded and want to keep it private, I wish them luck.

She looks fantastic. Usually I don't read the comments because there's always some smart-arse with derogatory comments such as 'still fat though' from Bob Downe in Lincoln.:confused: Just wondered is Bob Downe a joke name, kinda like duck down? :wink2:

Have you seen the news today. Its apparently been confirmed by Fern herself that she was actually banded two years ago (though its quoted at saying she's only lost 3 stone since, it looks like a lot more to me!)

She looks great & I think it does a lot for other peoples perceptions of Gastic Bands for someone like her to "come clean" & admit to the op. If people can see how it helps someone like her, then they might understand more. But she has put a lot of emphasis on the exercise regime she has also undertaken, like cycling & walking the dog. I'm hoping it doesn't make people think its a quick fix solution. The fact it was 2 years ago shows the lengthy journey that it takes.

I'm just glad I got my band done already! Guess how big the queue will be at the GP's surgerys in the morning, when it puts the idea in peoples heads!! :lol:

Suzi :P

      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!
