How old are/were you?



Recommended Posts

I was 25. I had the surgery a week before my 26th birthday. The best birthday gift I ever gave myself. I went through the approval process when I was 17 but was denied. Then finally when I got a good job with good health insurance and they approved me in 3 months!????

43. If I would have had the money and the confidence in the procedure, I would have done it when I was 35 and had my last baby for sure. Would I have done it in my 20s? I don't know, but I think so. I'd support my daughter if she decided to do it at your age.

I took a year to research gastric sleeve surgery, think about it, discuss with my hubby, and to talk with everyone I knew who had already had either the bypass or sleeve surgery before I committed to having it done.

      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!
