I got a new tattoo about 4 months ago. I have gone through a lot in the last 5 years and it is my way of commemorating how far I have come. 5 years ago I lost my husband to cancer and since then having to do things on my own, gaining more self confidence, a new love of my life and getting the lapband. Is it 5 butterflies the smallest (on my foot) has duller colors signifying where I started and the largest has the brightest colors. I do have to say that it is larger than I had wanted at first but now I love it.

Ooooooo that's so pretty!

So sorry to hear about the rough times you've been through but glad to hear it's all looking brighter now!

I've been wanting a tattoo for the longest time!!! The only thing stopping me is that I really have no idea what I want... seems like everyone has a butterfly... but I do like the dragonfly idea! I told myself when I got to 50lbs I'd do it... well that has come and gone and no tattoo! So I guess I need to make up my mind and go for it!

OMG!!! I love this!! My hubby was in the Navy and when I told him I wanted to get a tat to Celebrate my weight loss he said he's always wanted to get one to commemorate his time in the service so we're gonna do it together. I never thought of a pin-up girl for myself. Too cool!!

      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!
