I had my sleeve surgery10/15/2010, where I had a gall bladder removed two hernias repaired.

Lost 14 lbs 5 days after surgery...no longer taking any diabetes meds, high blood pressure, and a Water pill to reduced retention in legs.

Started out staying on the program for September 2012. Then alot of health issues started up on my wife. Climbing stairs was getting difficult.So down-sizing the town home we were renting to 2x2 apartment and downsizing my studio was an added stressor. That's only in in 2012 and found out that we have to move again because they were closing down the place we just moved in and add stress I started to nibble on Snacks to cope with trying to make thur the next big or little stress that had me on edge.

All the weight I lost I've gained all back except 4-5lbs. In the same process I'm now and always been lactose and soy intolerant. Eatting has hazards and unable to eat many things. So simple diet of whitemeat and skinless fowl has settled well.

Sometimes and use the word search for something to be done. I just need cheese find my way back into any fights out to help me get to get me back on my feet in any way to me masters the addictions of food will be helpful.

How much total weight had you lost prior to gaining it back?

You are here looking for help, that's a good start. Its not impossible to re-lose what you lost. You might consider therapy first then a possible revision 2nd... just my opinion. Its not hard to regain the weight, I am almost 2 years out and if I didn't keep track of myself I could go back easily. Do you still have some restriction?

      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.

        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.

      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!
