Good Grief! You look fantastic but I have to ask... how on earth did you lose almost 100 pounds in only four months? I know I've read other similar posts but' date=' man, my surgery was on Nov.23 (just a few days after yours) and I'm only down about 37 pounds. I know we all lose differently along with having different stats. I'm 47 years old, 5'9'' tall, and started at 250 pounds. Frustrating but I know it'll eventually come off.

Congrats again on your wonderful accomplishment.

I am similar... I am 50, 5'8" and started out at 241 lbs... I had surgery 2/18 and only lost 20lbs so far. I assume those of us who aren't so young will lose slower... We've had more time to damage our metabolism too!

I'm the same starting stats as you except I'm 44. My surgery is Monday and I will be thrilled if I loose 20 pound in the first month...that's amazing!

This may be too personal. But you look to be close to my age. I'm 24. And I have 20 more lbs til onederland. I'm wondering how bad excess skin is right now? I'm hoping because I'm still young it won't be too bad. Did start at a higher weight. 330 lbs and am at 220 today. I understand if this is a too personal question.

You're right, we're about the same age- I'm 23. And feel free to ask me any questions, I am always super honest and open. Excess skin hasn't been an issue for me. I do have a small amount of looser skin to my lower abdomen and arms, but I am confident that ill be able to tighten up a lot at the gym! You are also doing wonderfully with your weight loss!! Congrats!!

      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!
