I'm half way to my goal. Down 45 lbs. 45 to go. I broke my foot and was not allowed to put weight on it for 8 weeks, then within a week of the boot coming off, I developed a hairline fracture in the same foot. Again no weight on it. With limited mobility, I guess 45 lbs isn't so bad.

Those of you who had gallbladder surgery what happened? I was given meds to help with that.

I had stones in my gull bladdar. I was having issues eating and therefore wouldn't eat until I was forced to. Doctor was doing testing and had actually gotten the results of the ultrasound and bloodwork back saying that it was bad. I ended up in the ER at 2am with really bad pain so instead of being scheduled I got fit into the next day. I was actually released same day (I had surgery at 4:00 pm and home by 10:00 pm.) The surgery was Tuesday, I was home today resting (I ran some errands but mom drove), tomorrow I plan on going into work. I don't have a ton of leave due to the fact that I missed 3 weeks due to my bariatric surgery. I am supposed to have family coming in 2 weeks and wanted to spend the week off with them.

Since I started the pre-surgery diet I've lost 76 lbs and am now 98.6 pounds from my highest weight. I am so grateful for my sleeve. :D

I was getting stomach pains (a super uncomfy tightness) - dr said it was better to come out on our terms rather then waiting for an emergency (after u/s - it was confirmed I had gall stones). dr said 1 out of 5 will get it after WLS. I just happened to be the 1. Surgery and recovery went well. I was back to walking my 3+ miles after a believe 5 days. (Walked a lot at a local festival 2 days after surgery so it was an easy recovery).

Since I started the pre-surgery diet I've lost 76 lbs and am now 98.6 pounds from my highest weight. I am so grateful for my sleeve. :D

Great job! I am so thankful too!

      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!
