Recommended Posts

I just signed up so hi everyone :)

I just started getting really nervous about everything . I don't eat too large of portions now and I get full but they're not that small either I guess but I'm just nervous it won't work or something . I'm getting nervous about extra skin . I'm getting nervous that I won't lose a lot or what if I lose too much and I'm just really really skinny . I'm 18 , turning 19 on July 15th :) I'm about 5'1 and 260lbs and my goal weight is 140 . Also for those who have had it what was your recovery like ? I go to school for cosmetology and I was wondering how long you think before I can go back ? I want to try to miss as little as possible . Thanks for the support !

Hi! Just wanted to share that my surgery is July 8 as well. I'm SO ready & excited to start losing weight but wanted to let you know that you're not alone in your fears. I have all the same ones. Maybe you can plan.on doing what I've been told....exercise. As soon as my Dr releases me I'm going to start exercising. My.dietician told me that the people who excessive have significantly less loose akin. Not just the required walking, but weight Bering exercise. I also wanted to share a few of my observations with you. I have a good friend who ha the surgery over year ago. From watching her I have learned some do' s & don't' s. At first she lost a good amount of weight by being compliant with the diet & exercise set by her Dr. However, a time went on she slowly starting resorting to her old diet. She ha been hospitalized a couple of times for dehydration & once for opening a small hole in the "seam" of her stomach. She started overeating enough that she opened up a hole. Her weight loss has significantly slowed down & at one point she was even gaining weight back. I take her "advice" with caution. I'm learning what NOT to do & how I want to do things by watching her. I would love to keep in touch & share progress stories & success tips! Good luck with your surgery!!

Congrats too da both of u I was sleeve last July on da 16th I was 287 when I went last time I checked I was 198 my lowest was 193 I was tryna be 180 by my birthday but I don't think that's workin out 4 me. Yes dere are a lot of dos and donts nd some times its hard to stay on them diets I eat more then I could when I first got out and still not a lot tho. Far as loss skin I have it on my arms legs nd stomach nd yes workin out helps u tighten it up but its hard for me to do that. But my recovery time was pretty sweet a little painful but every one body is different but I'm pretty sure u guys will do just find. Good luck

      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!
