They didn't weigh me.

Come to think about it I do not think I was either.

I believe I was weighed a few days earlier at the pre-op hospital visit. I know I was not weighed on the date of surgery.

I was weighed in day of surgery, only because I didn't know my exact weight.

Hmm. I'm curious because I'd like to know how much I have lost from this lovely pre op diet. I don't own a scale because I know I'd be on it constantly. And in pre op class they said 4 patients that had surgery that morning had lost an average of 10-18# apiece

You can ask them to weigh you...I didn't own a scale back then ...lol...at my pre op app I weighed 304 and day of surgery I was 289..so I list 15 pounds on that evil diet...lol

Had my one week post op visit today! Everything is going great. I don't have a single complaint! Dr. Pham is very pleased with my recovery. I am loving life! Also, since the pre-op diet I'm down 22 pounds! Only 90 more to get to my personal goal!

I feel younger wished I was lol. I was Sleeved July 11. As for being busy my job is very stressful and I end up working late few times per month depending. I also have a young teen with disabilities. I am still finding time to work out.

      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!
