7 months post-op With Pics



Recommended Posts

Good Morning all of my Sleeve family. I just wanted to pop in and let everyone know that today is my 7 month post op and I wanted to share some before and after with you. This ride has been a crazy one and I am grateful for this forum and all of the people that have given me support when I needed it. You are all family to me and I am so incredibly blessed to have the support and encouragement. So lets start with the stats...

March 7 2011

I entered a cold hospital scared out of my mind and I was seriously having second thoughts at 245 pounds. Dr. David Kim came to meet with me in pre-op and assured me that he would take care of me. That was the last moment in my life as a obese person. I awoke from surgery and had a panic attack. I think that we all have a rocky start. This is when my new life began.

7 months I am proud to say I am currently at 175 and still walking the vsg journey. My health is much better and my confidence in myself and my body image has changed considerably. I am currently wearing size 12 to size 10 jeans and walk with a bit of pep in my step...you guys know that walk I am talking about...

So on with the photo whoring....

Wow! Congratulations, you look amazing!

Your sleeve surgery day is the same as my husbands (it also happens to be his birthday...hey he knew what he was doing when he picked his day...his gift to himself!) but anyway, I wanted to say he has lost the same amount of weight as you have! And they say men lose faster...ha! Great job...keep up the good work!

      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!
