I had surgery on Monday, and now I'm finding threads with other low bmi patients! I was 192 to start, 180.1 on Monday, 12/17, and now 173.8. On the way!

I was sleeved on December 5' date=' 2012 and I was weighing 202 pounds on the day of surgery. I had to go through a six-month weight loss program which I started at 227pounds In order to be approved By insurance. I would like to know if there's anyone else out there that started at this lower weight? It is sometimes difficult to compare yourself to people who started at a higher weight it seems like everything is slower.

Now two weeks and no WL since my first 2 week WL of 15 lbs. I am getting very frustrated and I'm also feeling hungry often. Help!

The day of surgery Oct 8 I was 240 I am now 187 and 5 sizes smaller in jeans. and 4 sizes smaller in shirts. I also hit a stall at 3 weeks as far as pounds, but kept losing inches. Now I am on the second dreaded stall and it has lasted longer than the first one.

Hi Ginny! I'm not scheduled to be sleeved until Feb 18th but my current weight is 219. I'll be happy with any loss' date=' even if it's slow. I've been maintaining ~220 for the last 10-15 years, hope to get to and maintain a much lower weight! <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />[/quote']

      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!
