Hey! I'm new, young but ready to be educated!



Recommended Posts

Hi everybody,

I have yet to be banded, 4 more dietician meetings left to go though! Planning on having the surgery sometime in December of this year. I'm 20 years old, been overweight my whole life and I'm ready for a change. I came here to get "educated" as my doctor recommended I check out places online. I'm also hoping to get some support seeing as I probably won't be sharing my experience with EVERYBODY in my life, just a select few :confused:

hello (:

im 18 and i was banded on july 31st. i also was overweight my whole life.. this website is a really great website and had all the information i needed to know. i spent months on here as well as going to meetings and classes. im also not sharing this with anybody in my life besides my family. i dont think my friends need to know about it.

good luck :(

Thanks for accepting my friend's request! :( I also feel the same, only a select few of my friends know. I know the rest would either not get it or understand my decision. If you need someone to talk to, I'm a great listener!

I too have been overweight my whole life. It'd be nice to share that aspect with people that don't understand what it's like to go through that!

:cursing:

      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'. ???

      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!
