yes, its true!

i was sleeved december 20th, 2011.

i went through hell and back.

starting weight: 273lbs.

starting bmi: 51.6 (extremely obese)

jeans: 18-22.

todays weight: 156lbs.

todays bmi: 29.5 (overweight)

jeans: 4-8.

my ultimate goal is 135lbs.

since im 156lbs, my goals are:

155lbs.

149lbs.

145lbs.

139lbs.

135lbs.

this keeps me going and keeps me feeling accomplished! even though, every pound feels like a victory at this point!!!

after my experience with my leak, would i have this surgery again if i had to? F*** NO!

but am i happy that im sleeved and healthy? YES!

for those who are wondering about my leak... heres the story!!

i was sleeved dec 20th, 2011. had a swallow test the 21st, showed no leak. i was sick until able to eat soft foods in my 4th & 5th week. those 2wks, i felt amazing besides the fact i threw up bile 2x within those 2wks. nurse practioner scheduled another swallow test & i had a leak. i was hospitalized for over 2wks & was HORRIBLY sick! didnt eat for over a month & would throw up bile about 6-12x per day. i had 3 emergency procedures that month & i thought i was going to die as the drs kept using the F word... FATAL!

long story short, after removing the stent, i was so much better that instant! like god saved my life!!! and he did.

so overall, im down 117lbs & looking good. :)

      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!

        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!
