Hello everyone, I am seven weeks out, and approx. 50 lbs lighter with 25 lbs. to go reach my goal of 200 lbs. Feeling great, having a wonderful time researching new material on nutrition, Vitamins, and different types of food to help me in my weight loss journey. At the gym and meeting new people in the support group has been a significant appreciation to my self esteem.

One of the best things to happen to me is my sex life is alive again, my wife says she can but her legs around me. Things are happening to this 59 year old guy that I thought was long gone forever. Waking up morning feeling great (you guys know with I mean), not having to take the “little blue pill” is a big thing for me. We are doing things we haven’t done in years. Satisfying my wife offers me great appreciation for our marriage. Its help our life in so many ways. Going to movies, eating out, walking in the park, or just relaxing at home and enjoying each other has put a new spark in our lives. This is life is all about, when two people can recognize the value of love making after 25 years of hardships and successes. As a consequence, one of the most interesting things is, it can only get better.

As always, comments welcome.

Ok, I am only 27 but I have seen a huge change myself. It amazing what can happen when you feel sexy again!!!

I am 33 (34 in 19 days) and I know. I feel sexy again and I would have never thought that I would feel sexy again. And that is another reason why I LOVE MY SLEEVE!!!

I've been with the same wonderful guy for 30 yrs now, and our sex life is even better than when we started out. Being at my goal weight makes me have a much better attitude about my body, which of course is the most important aspect of a healthy sexual relationship. I'll be 50 in a few weeks, the last child is now out of the nest - so I'm looking forward to the next years my hubby and will have together having fun (sexual and otherwise!) and being healthy enough to travel, walk, etc. Glad to hear you're in the same boat!

      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!
