Sleeved on March 11. 243 at surgery and now 176. 5' tall - went from size 22 pants to 14/16 and in an XL top. I had no complications other than soreness for a couple of days. The downside- none. I am now finding I can eat more and bread goes down pretty easily so I am cutting it now before it gets out of hand. I am 67 and would do it again. Many say their only regret is that they didn't do it sooner- for me this was the right time so I have no regrets at all.

I've had to buy new clothes. Gave away 4 large black trash bags full of clothes the were way too big. Yay!! Haven't gone too crazy in the shopping dept. went from a size 20 pant. I'm now a 14. But plan on going down more sizes.

have yall started shopping yet?

I tried going to thrift stores but found it tedious- the one near me sorts by color not size so it takes a while to find things. I am now shopping for fall/winter. I can get into 14's but I don't want to buy too much- I am hoping to go down a couple more sizes. I am hoping it doesn't get cold soon- I don't want to buy a coat until I am at goal. It is fun though! I still start in the Woman's section and laugh at myself as I move to Misses. Juniors? Probably not but I would be ecstatic if I could fit into Petites. I am 5' tall, but not sure my body is going to get that small.

      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!
