Congrats Casey!!! I wish I started my journey when I was your age!!!

Right now it's all overwhelming. With all the what coulds. And the what you have to do's. But I can't wait. I wanna get this done while I'm young and it'll all be a bit easier. I've struggled with weight my whole life. Id rather do this now and just get it done so I can live my life happy and healthy. Its gonna be a rough few week.

I know the feeling!! I'm 27 and have spent majority of my life "big"! I enjoy things as much as I could but there have been plenty of instances that my weight/health has hindered me! I went indoor rock climbing last year and could barely climb the wall! I went to Jamaica 2 years ago and had to chuck half my photos because I hated how big I looked! I'm sure loosing weight will be like living in a whole new world to us! I can't wait until my consult!!!

I know! You cannot find one single picture of me where I was not overweight for my age. I feel like after its all done and the weight off. I'm just gonna be a whole new person who enjoys life more cause now with having smaller friends and of I go do what they do there's always a fear I can't. Like roller coasters swimming walking around the mall shopping. And by next summer going out in a swim suit with them wont be so intimidating

      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!
