I am just worried about reaching goal and being able to maintain it....that's a head trip because with the band I feel like an involuntary bulimic.Sometimes I can eat ,other times not,sometimes so hungry.Cant tolerate solid foods sometimes...slider foods because of fear of vomiting up.

I am EXACTLY the same way. I have been regurgitating my food for years ands then randomly one day I can eat a bunch. Most days I can't even eat a bite of pudding. I am having it out on Friday and then waiting 6 to 8 weeks and having the sleeve done. Already have insurance approval good both and I'm ready to have this bitch out of me! !!

I feel bulimic too. I throw up my food 3 or 4 times before I can get ANYTHING down even yogurt or pudding. Been doing it for 7 years...

I'm going for the sleeve...eventually. When the stars align and finances are good I guess. Bypass scares me more I don't think I could do it.

Oh yes absolutely that's me.I also have a crappy taste in my mouth.Belching,GERD and the worse indigestion.Going out to dinner is dodgy...I would be hungry and soon as the food comes it's like I have a balloon in my stomach...people notice I am not eating...then I eat...oh boy...excuse myself 2 or 3 times to the bathroom.Its not cute.

      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!
