9 Months Post Op! Down over 100+ pounds!



Recommended Posts

Howdy Everyone!

Today marks 9 months since I had surgery! I find it symbolic that that is the length of time I was pregnant - creating my daughters....

ANd that is how long it has taken to create the new me. Was a size 24....now a size 10.

292 day od surgery....188 this morning.....

I can honestly say I am perfectly happy at where I am now. I would love to MAINTAIN where I am now....so IF I lost anymore, bonus! If not - that is fine!

This surgery works! It may be a little slower for some than others....but it WORKS!

I am the happiest I have ever been!

during your pregnancy - you "might" have gone through "some" uncomfortable times, periods of morning sickness, vomitting - being extra tired

welllllll....once again you went through 9 months of similar situations with WLS

the results of "both" surgeries are remarkable

how rewarding to get a beautiful new baby - and now a beautiful new "hey baby, hey baby you" :lol: :lol:

so happy for you!!!!

continue to enjoy life to its fullest :)

take care :)

      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!
