Before and after pics....



Recommended Posts

I am so technically illiterate, I can't get the pics on this post the right way up. But if you visit my gallery on my profile, have put up some "before" pics. Never seen before outwith my family.

I am actually quite shocked to see myself... had forgotten just how big I was. But I am not there any more :-))))) Life is soooooo good... if you are struggling, I hope it shows that everything and anything is possible...

Thank you all for the kind words!

jeanZ_RN, I am a little dot of 5'2" and pre sleeve was 223lbs, 203 on the day of surgery and am now 138. Cosmetics will shave off another 5-7lbs and then I will be done. Got to goal of 140lbs after 8 months and reset it down to 135lbs. But not aiming to lose any more weight, surgeon was very happy when he saw me for my one year check :-)

We could be sisters separated at birth our stats are so similar - sadly I would have to be the older sister :-)

Thanks, my hair had been my pride and joy but lost about half its volume during the shedding period. Started growing back at about six months (it just started falling out more slowly, lol) and the pic was taken at about 10 months.

Good luck, you are almost there!

      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!
