Oh no!! I hope and pray you feel better soon. And I know you probably don't want to hear this, but there's always a reason why things happen the way they do. I'm sure you'd rather wait a couple more weeks than worry about complications. So try to keep your head up. Things will work out exactly the way they're supposed to. <3

I was bummed because I was having communication issues with my surgeons office that put my surgery behind (my) schedule. But when I looked at a calendar, the date I got worked beautifully with a lull at work. Just know that God is in control, and you'll have the surgery exactly when you're supposed to have it.

I"m 5'6'' and 36 yrs old. My surgeon says I should get down to about 135 lbs. (that was a little bit lower than my idea of 150 lbs but hey' date=' skinny not just smaller, right?) My starting weight is 297 lbs. Can't remember the last time I weighed 135 lbs I have no idea what size 135 lbs would make me, maybe some of you guys could give me an idea.

I have a relatively small waist with big butt/thighs and hefty boobs. Had a nice hour glass shape when I was younger and smaller. Hoping to see that shape again soon[/quote']

We have almost the exact same stats! I'm 5'6 and a half and I'm 37 but my highest weight is also 297. But my boobs r far far from hefty. LOL! I've never been "small". I've always been the biggest girl in class....or at least I've always felt that way. Therefore, I don't really know what kind of shape I have. LMBO. How sad is that?! But I will be finding out!! I think my doctor wants me down to 155 which would put me in the "normal" category for BMIs. And since I've never been small or under 200 lbs I have NO IDEA what 155 would look like on me. I got down to 212 one time and thought I looked super 'small' at the time. Perspective is something else! LOL.

Thank you very much. I am already starting to feel better after some gargling and such, minus my one stuffed nostril (which I hardly think is cause for surgery cancellation. Lol). I know it is all in His timing. I'm trying to remind myself of that I'm just being selfish. Lol Im sick of waiting! Haha

I'm so glad!!! I always have a stuffed nostril or two thanks to my allergies, so I think you'll be fine. :)

Hi everyone! I am new. My surgery is next Monday, June 10th. I am excited and so far not nervous at all. I try to do as much research as I can to know what to expect and have the best outcome possible. Good luck June surgeries!

Good point! Probably just allergies. Definitely not a reason to cancel!

I'm losing my mind about the fact I plan on going back to work a week post op. My surgeon wanted me to wait two and financially I can't. My fiancé and I broke up at the end of March and paying everything on my own now, I can't take the time off work. Now I'm paranoid I'm doomed to have a complication and get stuck out of work and get evicted or something.

      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!
