Political posts



Recommended Posts

Well, I was going to "rant" about people posting about politics as it seems to me this board should be one of support as opposed to arguing and attacks...but I see that at least one of the posts I kept seeing while perusing "new posts" is actually IN the off-topic area so I guess I really can't complain! lol

For what it's worth, I feel I'm very involved personally in politics but that this isn't the forum to discuss it. I would hate to think someone who needs support would see a political post, become offended, and not come back.

P.S. I am SO excited about my upcoming surgery!

Hi Anne. Welcome to LBT.

I understand what you are saying, but I think at some point people do have to take responsibility. If someone is going to stop coming to a support site because there are people there who disagree with them about some political issue, then they are going to find something else at that site to be offended about. Because there is no place where everyone is going to agree with you 100%.

Now anne, you do realize that you just created a new thread for people to argue and attack! :biggrin:Sorry girl but I couldn't resist. I hope that people take it for what it is. A place to rant off topic and receive wls support.

      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.

      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!
