Great Birthday Present!



Recommended Posts

Just turned 35 last week and have my date of June 5th!!! Best present in the world!!! I am a single mother of a beautiful 11 yr old!! Want to do this for her mostly but for me too, don't want to be "the fat mom"!!! I am 5'7.5" 309 lbs. at last app. Just started the low carb diet, Dr. did not required for me to do any diet before the surgery but I don't want any complications so doing everything I can for myself. I am unusually very calm not too nervous about the surgery!! I'm sure the weekend before I will be, I hope!!

Best wishes for you. I think we say..... I will talk about me. I want to have more energy for my kids but I'm not having surgery for them. I'm doing it only for me. I want to look good. I personally never cared what others say if they call me fat if my teenagers friend say I'm fat. I honestly don't care. Kids grow up & move out. I have to live this way fat or do something about it so I decided to do something about it only for me.

Well I am doing it for myself too! My dad passed sept '10 of a heart attack at the age of 57! That was the start of my journey, I had lost 80 lbs prior to his passing but gained it back afterward almost immediately! Want to take care of myself for me and my family!!!

      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!
