I have to say like this site. I am down 117 lbs. I have 23 lbs. to go to hit my goal. Its nice to talk to people on here with the same surgery. I always get questions.

I love to see people post here who have been successful losing large amounts of weight because they are "living proof" that it's possible to get to goal with this surgery. I am down 28 pounds and can't wait to break out of the 250's. For me, mini goals of 10 pounds each allow me to work towards realistic achievements.

I agree with you Elisabeth and I have pretty much set the same mini goals - 10 lbs a week and I'll be thrilled. As of this morning, I am down 13.6 and surgery was a week from yesterday. I know once I start on real food, that the weight loss will probably slow down a bit; however I intend to take full advantage of it for as long as I can. I'm starting my walking regime today and will be glad when I can start on weight resistance and other exercises.:001_smile:

Keep up the good work both of you. :thumbup:

I'm down 107 but I'm down to 116. :001_tongue:

The last time I weighed that little was college, I think.

i am so happy for all of you. thank you for sharing your successes. i really makes me feel hopeful not only for myself but for others that are going through the same thing. it is truly amazing how strong a person can be when they have proper support systems in place. i think of the sleeve as a part of a support system and this forum too. thank you again for all your help. i don't even know you guys and i am so proud.

i am a sappy mush at heart. i even cried during the lion king. i never even finished bambie lol.

Monday I went for my first visit with my Bariatric surgeon who will be performing my vsg. I now have my psycological evaluation, nutritionist, sleep study and all the other tests set up. Now the battle begins with the insurance company. I am 5'0...236 lbs. I have been overweight all of my life. I am so excited about getting the vsg!!!! Will post a picture of me in :thumbup:the next couple of days.

      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!
