I just started my process for WLS w/BMI of 38. It's good to see others here with a BMI similar to mine. I haven't shared my intention with for surgery but with only three people as I don't don't want to be criticized for taking the "easy" way out. In the past I have tried several weight loss methods with some success but when they are stopped or slowed down the weight comes back and more.

My BMI was 35 when I had my surgery. I weighed 230 and I'm 5'8. I was about a size 16/18. I lost 23 pounds my first month and each month after that I lost around 10 pounds. I reached my goal in ten months. I weigh 130 and my BMI is 20. I am below my goal weight and have maintained this weight for seven months. I know everyone is different but maybe you will be one of the lucky ones and will lose quickly . The most important thing to me was not how quickly I lost weight just that I had a steady weight loss. Watching the scale move downward each week is the best feeling in the world !!!

      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.

        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!
