Six months surgiversary!



Recommended Posts

I sometimes walk by mirrors and have to do a double take!!

I have had friends not recognize me if they haven't seen me in a while!

I am filled with gratitude for Dr Aceves and his staff....

Six short months and I am down 160 lbs!

No complications!

I have not reached my goal yet but I am confident I will do so!

My life is so much better now... I wish I had not waited so long!!

That's amazing!! It's so good to hear from people who aren't too long out of surgery and doing so well. :)

Thank you all! There is no secret!! This is the first time in my life I am relaxed around food because no longer can I over eat.... Food is just food.... Energy.... While I can enjoy flavors.... My focus is different... My tastes are different.....no more worry over planning to stick with my diet and be good only to find something that tastes so good I just don't want to stop....I can not over eat... I am so grateful for Dr Aceves... My life has changed..... I welcome my baggy skin!!!

Trying on clothes is great!!

Tasting food at parties is enough.... I get full on the costco samples!!

No more knee pain !!

No more shortness of breath!!

These results are for everyone with the courage to step into the light of Vertical Sleeve!!

Great job Moonrisen! You are a shining example of a successful sleever. I have no doubt you will reach your goal. I'm sure having such a great surgeon didn't hurt either :wub:

      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'. ???

      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!
