Hi :)

I live in Napes and have a Feb 09 surgery date..

I'm new in town and I'd love some contact with the outside world.

I'm 24...

I'm an elementary school teacher, I like dogs and crafts, I'm looking forward to changing my body.

I hate exercise but, this is happening so... idk what else to say :)

Happy Belated Birthday!

I'm going to join a cute gym in March on Livingston at the Collier Park there.. its like full of old people. I had a membership at LA Fitness before the surgery and went maybe 7 times over 4 months. Everyone there was like trying to have sex with each other... it was really awkward just being an average person there lol..

I got the sleeve and I'm very happy, I've lost 24 lbs. since beginning the fast a week before surgery. The surgery was SO painful I had no idea it was going to hurt that bad! Any my nurses were... busy is a nice word for it.

Been home a full week now, walking everyday, lol I've done this workout video for bariatric patients I found on youtube twice now. I feel like a dope jazzercising but, it makes me sweat! I am not a big exerciser either but, I I'm stubborn and will get out and do it.

No kids, moved back in with my mom last Oct and she has a dog. I'm an elementary school teacher and I'm subbing till I can snag a classroom next school year.

      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!
