Hi Danny! My name is Aimee. Congratulations on the weight loss! What an accomplishment! I am still pre op but I am close to getting scheduled, just need to get to my goal weight in order to have surgery. I can't believe you've lost that much weight in that amount of time! I just can't even imagine losing that much weight. I am so excited for this to begin! I was really struggling to stay on track with my weight loss but recently was put on Metformin and its really helping with the weight loss. I'm also on the liquid diet and not cheating like I was.

I have five lbs or less to lose to get scheduled. I am just so ready to have it and start this journey. So my highest weight was 321 and last week I was weighed at 307. Don't know what I weigh now but am hoping to get weighed tomorrow when I bring my daughter in to the doctor.

I am in MN. Where are you? Hope to meet people here and to hear from you soon!

      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!
