Received great news today, my six month blood work came back excellent. Diabetes, gout, high cholesterol, blood pressure and prostate problems are gone or within normal limits. All these ailments I was taking meds for on a daily basis, some two and three times a day. 85 lbs. down in six months. It seems the body weight is leveling off at 190. For the last few weeks, I been floating between 190 and 195.

I am a approaching 60 years old this fall, and this is the greatest gift I can get. One friend (who had the bypass in 2001) mentioned I added ten to fifteen years to my life.

So happy, I am shedding a few tears (in high spirits).

Can't wait until the wife get home to share the news with her. I guess we will Celebrate, pray first then rejoice.

Continued thanks,

Lash

      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!
