Well here I am sat in a hotel in Mexico wearing shorts and walking around without a care in the world. This is a big NSVs for me as I have not worn shorts in public before. I'm on holiday with my husband and we have travelled from the UK.

I had my sleeve on 3rd April 2012 and I am down 80lb, my goal is 100lb. It is slow but steady and I am a great believer that this is indeed a journey along a long road and not a quick race around a track.

Just wanted to share my happiness.

Meanwhile, here in Western Washington, near Seattle, we are enjoying beautiful mostly sunny skies and temperatures in the mid 60's (F). It's weekends like this that make up for the gloomy late falls and winters around here!

Seriously, congrats, Cathy! I hope to be able to join you in that carefree mode by this time next year!

      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!
