Anyone out there starting at or started at 350+ lbs? I am about 375 and thought it would be nice to share the experience with someone about the same size. Let me know maybe we can go through this together. My surgery is Jan 17.

I'm about 10lbs heavier and shoot for 3/11/13 with Dr. Lopez. Financials pending of course!

I am 340 and have scheduled my date for March 20th with Dr. Garcia. It's so encouraging to see the weight loss some of you have had. Great job on the work!

I was 375+ as I would NOT step on the scale for a few months pre-op. Lost 175 pounds and doing fine. Only issues was a few bouts of kidney stones. I drink a lot of Water and that keeps them at bay.

Hi there! I just joined this forum yesterday. I had some time today to look around and found your post. We are about the same size and I am having my sleeve on January 15!!! It'll be here before we know it! :)

      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!
