Hey I'm doing very well! Feeling great!! Tomorrow is actually 10 weeks and I'm down 51lbs!! Couldn't be happier with the progress. I like Montes and Glassnap but I decided to go with Montes. She made me feel the most comfortable. You going to Somerset or Springfield? You're not too far from where I am. I'm in Woodbridge.

Oh ok! You know the area!! Thanks for the kind words. I've been working really hard to keep the weight coming off. I'm in the process of trying to get into the police academy so I need to drop some more weight if I'm ever gonna make it through in 1 piece. So I'm back to the gym everyday making it happen. We can definitely chat if you'd like. I haven't gone to one that the doctors offer but I went to one in Clark that is done at the RWJ Fitness center. It was really nice. You would be more then welcome if yuppy wanted to join in. It's this sat the 3rd at 1030am. Lemme know if you wanna go and I'll email the leader for you.

Fantastic job!!! You have many wonderful things ahead of you.

Thank you very much!!! I can't wait for the future!!

      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!
