Had surgery july 30th 2012



Recommended Posts

Just curious how people who had surgery 7 to 8 months out are doing? I lost 53 pounds since surgery. Before surgery I lost 38. Struggling now!

Around the 6 month mark I slowed down a lot. I was near goal but the weight kept coming off at a slower rate. You have done really good on your weight loss. CONGRATS! :)

I had surgery 8/31. Have lost about 55 lbs. only lost 6 since the new year. Still about 25 lbs from goal.

The scale isn't moving much these days but I can fit into as size 10 (started at 235 lbs sz 18/20) so I'm not too depressed about the scale.

Thanks! I'm at stall, haven't lost any more weight in a month. I trouble with head hunger! Going to a support group on it. Night time is a struggle!

I slowed way down too. I'm with you, struggling, but not giving up! Too close to give up!

It feels good to hear how others are doing that had surgery around same time. Not many sleeve people at hospital I had it done.

I agree with you! I'm not giving up, it just can be so frustrating. Really trying eat right, exercise, record what I eat and drink. All while trying to stop my self from eating when I'm not really hungry.

      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!
