Any updates mcclain? How is your wife doing?

sorry its been a little bit(holidays). so im 210!!you know, my personal goal has always been 200, but i am going to pass that. i feel great, look completely different, every aspect of life is better!

my wife is down to 170! shes like 30 pounds away(same as me, by what Dr. Ortiz said we would be) you know its funny, the doc said it would take me a year to hit his goal, and my wife 2 years.... well shes right on track with me. we are both very,very happy and wouldnt do anything different, except.......... do it sooner in life! i really feel like you get outta this what you put into it. follow their directions, they know what they are talking about. DONT CHEAT...IT ONLY HURTS YOUR PROGRESS!

anyways, im out. good luck to all and have a happy new year... ill have christina post pics soon!thanks, kevin

      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!
