I had an nsv today. Down to a size 12 . I also saw myself in the fitting room for the first time and yikes! My thighs and even the backs of my knees are hanging! Im 9 weeks out. I hope this skin snaps up some in the future. For those of you who are further out did you notice the skin this quick?

Yes! I noticed in my arms first. Then my thighs. My stomach was the last to flab and also the worst. My arms eventually firmed up a little. My thighs and stomach never bounced back. I ended up getting a Tummy Tuck to remove all the access skin.

Everyone's different though.

I was talking to a coworkers about getting the surgery. He wants to but is scared about having loose skin. I asked him "as opposed to having the gut and health problems!?"

      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'. ???

      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!
