The change in your body is amazing...CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! I know it took a lot of determination and hard work. I have to say tho, what really impressed me as I looked at your pictures is that as you appear to have lost the weight you seem to have gained the confidence....from refusing to look at the camera to posing!!! I think that is awesome!!! You have every reason to be proud. I can't wait to join you! I get my band on the 24th!

Now get out there and strut your stuff!!

Thanks everyone....Traceylou...I can only speak for myself, I really dont think I will ever get past the "fat" mentality. I still have a fair bit to lose to not be considered overweight. I am still obese according to BMI.

Its a hard question to answer but I really dont think I will think of myself as anything other than fat, or someone that needs to lose weight. I have lived with it all my life so if it is going to change I think it will take a long time.

Hugs and good luck with your surgery.

      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!
