I had surgery June 30, 2012 in Mexicali by dr Aceves my stats are 5'0 & starting weight 200lbs as of jan 30, 2013 I met my goal of 130lbs. I feel amazing so all of you slow low Bmi'ers don't give up hope. My only regret is not doing this sooner.

I'm curious, did your doc give you the goal of 130? I'm 5' as well and my goal is 110. My first doc wanted me to shoot for 105.

4'10 here and at 200 lbs pre-op. NUT said 113-125 for someone with a medium to large frame person my height. For a small framed person it's more like 96-104! I'm about a medium frame so I'm shooting for 120'ish.

My doc gave me 130 as well- I'm 4'11.5". I have a rather large body frame for being so short. I'm rather muscular as well. I was 135 in high school with very little excess fat- I know it was 20% or less. I doubt I will have that much muscle now- so I'm going with 130.

Hi iggychic! That's my personal goal because I was at 130 before having my kids. But I would be ecstatic if I go lower than that ;)

That was my goal the dr told me 125-128 i'm also medium build also I really don't want to be to skinny and look anorexic or sick. I feel so good I'm doing things I never thought I could do and Zumba is my addiction now.

I'm glad ya'll are doing so well and I'll go look at that pic :)

But FYI...just in case you go lower and it freaks you out LOL I was 108 just ten years ago and I am also a medium build but I was never skinny or anorexic looking. I have a big bumm and boobs even at that weight, so lots of curves :) At 100 or less I do get too thin....I don't feel good at that weight and it's impossible to maintain for me. I just wanted to share because sometimes we set goals and our body sets other goals, so don't freak out if you keep losing....just wait to buy your new wardrobe til you are really done LOL

      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!
