I am not a year yet but I had my surgery in September last year. I am thankful that I have been able to make, at the very least, a wonderful lifestyle change. I always use my immediate preop weight but I was looking at some old MD papers and saw I was even 20lbs more than my preop weight. I am so thankful not only to be free of those pounds but to not have gained it back. I want at least 100lbs but I thank God for where I am.

I also thought I would at goal by now it has been 11 months since my surgery. I am so happy that I got my band and very grateful to have lost what I have. Forty five pounds is way better than zero. Maybe you need a jump start to get you going, there was a jump start procedure on here a few months ago, I think Missy put it on this forum. Hugs to you and keep your chin up. ( in my country we would say keep your pecker up ) Pecker is your chin. But I better not say that here LOL

      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!
