This month marks 6 months since my sleeve surgery. I’ve been pretty quiet on the forum lately as I’ve been very busy. I just wanted to let everyone know things are going very well. My decision to have the surgery is probably one of the best decisions I ever made. Certainly there have been many adjustments over the past months, but those adjustments are my new normal and I’ve accepted them as if they’ve been with me my whole life.

I’m closing in on 80lbs lost. My energy level is incredible. I recently took my two sons, both who are in their mid 20’s, on a birthday trip to Boston to sightsee and attend a couple Red Socks games. They commented that they weren’t able to keep up with me.

I’ve been riding my bicycle to work 3 days a week. I walk a 4 mile route every day during my lunch hour.

The weight loss has slowed as expected, but I’ll reach my goal over time. All is well!

My story is the same as yours. I am six months out, pleased with my weight loss, which like yours has slowed down, and I feel great! Like you, I have adapted to the adjustments, and do not feel any sense of loss or deprivation. And I agree, one of the best decisions I ever made, but it was a difficult one to come to.

Thanks for posting!

      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!
