I think you have the start of a good stand-up routine here. If you decide to go that way, I'll buy a ticket. :)

you know, I have been thinking to myself after being on the site for a while, there is more politically correct posturing going on here than at the democratic national convention. Almost every post has an a caveat that equates to "dont bitch slap me for this". I cant possibly be bothered to make sure I don't offend anyone. What would be the point anyway, offended people are often the most hysterical.

I welcome some down to earth common sense anytime!

I agree. This is why I don't post much. It seemed that every time I posted and gave an opinion if I did not include "MAKE SURE YOU CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTOR" I would get slapped. I even thought about putting "MAKE SURE YOU CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTOR" in my signature so that I would not have to say it all the time.

Oh by the way "MAKE SURE YOU CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTOR"

well I can see that sometimes a person can over react and others underreact but for the most part one must take accountability for there own actions and a forum is for support and some sort of direction. If you are throwing up 3 times a day see your Doc!!! that is common sence. good grief. I love the post that started this thread.

"Mother of GOD!! You must call your surgeon immediately.. My band slipped all the way down to my rectum and fell out, got caught on my ankle, made me trip and they had to do sixteen hours of surgery just to disentangle my port tubing from my ass"

I think we need a sense of humor to deal with life! I have surgery June 8th, I'll have to watch out for the ankle slippage and port-in-the-ass entanglement! :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!
