Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Recommended Posts

Has anyone else started thinking about what it would be like to be thin before surgery. I'm thinking, is this really going to happen and, is the insurance going to approve me. Am I really going to be able to tell u guys, I had my surgery?

I thought surgery will fail for me to be honest. Once the weight started melting I was like damn! This surgery works & adding exercise & eating healthly is important.

I didn't think I would be thinner. I didn't know I could go back 15 years ago. Lmbo

As long as you follow your surgeons plan it will work. But it will take some time for your brain to catch up to the weight loss. I still go into the plus size section looking for clothes, forgetting that I can now wear regular sizes.. even JUNIORS!!! So it will happen. Just believe in yourself and how much you want this and you'll do great!

I guess I just want this so much

I know how you feel!! I keep thinking that when is the ball going to drop!! I know I am getting closer but I can't help feel something somewhere is going to throw a wrench in it. I go today for final weigh in and then off to the waiting game...

      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!
