I know this is odd but are there any tall girls out there? I am 5'11 and would love to see before/after pics- I have always been super sized!

No, I have finally decided I am going to do it. My mission now is to find the surgeon. I am so happy I found you. Because I am so tall I hear from everyone I don't need it and it's frustrating.

I am in Atlanta, I have an appointment on the 8th. Self pay. Doctor said he would schedule it two weeks out if all goes well. Maybe you can be my mentor or something. Did you tell people?

Awesome job!! Can I ask what your weight loss looked like as far as how much you lost when? I'm 6 weeks out and down about 30 pounds. I feel like I'm slower on losing them most. Suggestions?

Ok so on pre op diet I lost 15 lbs and since Mid July I have lost about 20 lbs. the weight in the middle is hard to say exactly because my scale had to be replaced in July and my new one(same brand) showed me gain 20.....which I then went and compared to my dr scale....and it was correct which totally sucked!

So I lost 40 lbs or so pretty evenly over the 1st 3 months?

Sorry if this is confusing

I am 5'8" and I had surgery 6/5/15. I am down 55 pounds in 14 weeks but I haven't lost anything really over the last 10 days. Stalls suck!! I feel like I am losing slow too but doc says I am doing fine so I am ok with it. Highest weight was 293. Day of surgery was 289 and currently I am at 234. This was a few pounds ago but you can tell a big difference.

      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'. ???

        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!
