I was hoping someone else would bring this up but no luck! I have implants and I'm worried about the effects of loose skin and implants. If they were onset the muscle I think I wouldn't be so worried but these r over the muscle and so it's worrisome to me! Anyone else have them ?

Same here, but mine were already sagging so I am prepared to have them replaced later if needed. I am down 23 pounds and they look better, I don't know what they will look like at goal (65 pounds) but I think they are to big anyway.

I would ask your surgeon about that. I am thinking it through, and I don't see how you would have *much* of an issue. I would definatly wear a bra always to help keep them in place (like you did when you first had surgery - assuming you did) - for awhile until you can start working out. I would also suggest working out your chest now more pre-surgery to help build new muscle, so you won't go too far backwards. Does that make sense??

      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!
