Thanks for the insight. I had my 59th birthday yesterday and desided I better get off my duff to get my life back before it's to late. 12 years ago I lost 168 lbs. in less than a year, and was in the best shape of my life. But I did it while taking Redux. I was one of the lucky ones and didn't really have the medicial issue that many others did. Needless to say, I have gained my 168 lbs. back and really miss all of the fun I had shopping at regular people stores. It didn't hurt hearing my wife tell people I looked like Tom Selick now. Well I am back looking more like Shrek. I hope Megan has good things to say about her experiance, because I can't afford the cost here in the USA

She will, tell megan McCall Sink sent you and she will take good care of ya!

Even if you cant get the surgery she is fantastic as a weight consler. She has been there she knows the thoughts and the patterns and she puts things out there you would never think of!

And remember if you get it or if you dont get it, its going to be a struggle either way so get your mind right and you will do just fine!!

Hey I am also across the river and am currently in the process of going through the steps.. You should email me and maybe if we live close enough we could go walking 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.

      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!
