Surgery Was The Best Thing In My Life!



Recommended Posts

I had my sugery aug 31 of this year. I was two pounds shy of five hundred pounds. All I could do was lay in bed all day because I couldn't walk more than a few yards before my legs would give out. Now I have lost close to two hundred pounds and still losing about ten or 12 pounds a month. I am able to walk over a mile with no trouble. I am so thankful for Dr Bernie Hanna for doing such a great job. I don't have any side effects and have a happy life now with my wife who stuck with me the whole way!

Thanks for sharing your story, Diablowizard. The sleeve has so many benefits for all of us. I'm hoping to be able to walk a mile soon, too, OTR.

Congrats on your success! Your post is a little confusing though, you say you HAD your surgery in this year in August, yet it's just now the end of June. Did you have surgery last year?

Keep up with it. I now swim 2 miles and bike 10 miles 3 or 4 days a week (no biking this week with temps in the 100's) without hardly breaking a sweat as you lose your energy will soar as you lose more.

Congrats again.

      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.

      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!
