I'm 6 months and 10 days out and loving life. I hit goal at 5-1/2 months (lost 72 pounds) and I'm staying right at that number +/- 2 pounds. Tuesday, my surgeon had a holiday celebration for former and prospective patients. He asked me to be one of the models and it was SO much fun! Here're the transformation photos that tell the whole story without words

How incredible has this surgery been!

Congrats you look great, keep up the great work, I feel like you do a princess, when I went to my support group my support group specialist did not even know it was me. I went from a size 3 x and wear a size large dress now and I am loving the new me. I am looking forward to 2015 and hitting target weight of 170, I want to try rock climbing.

Cupcake, rock climbing sounds fun. We have around the same goal weight. I am looking forward to hitting it also in 2015. I hope before my 1 year...

It is encouraging to see others hit goal weight... Can I ask who sets goal weight my Dr. Has never talked final weight with me.. Just keeping with the program...

My doctor asked what I would like to see & where I would feel "comfortable". The high end for my height is 148 but I have been 155 before & looked gaunt so I said I would re-evaluate around 170 (12 more pounds to go). When I was 18 and weighed 155 & wore a size 6 I didn't have extra skin or hips from having a baby like now so things def look different right now.

My doctor set my goal weight to 170 , and that is what I am aiming for the closer I get to my goal i will see if I am comfortable at that weight.

I am glad to see the goal weight isn't off those charts..I know some point in my life I weighted under 180 but I must have been around 13... I am the smallest I ever remember at a size 14 and weighing 205 my goal is 175 and I will be happy... I agree 3 babies and being heavy my whole life... Yea I will be very happy...

      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!
