@@losing100# absolutely! A little about me - I'm a 27 year old teacher from NH. 5'3" HW 244, CW 226. I am having a VSG on the recommendation of my foot and ankle specialist. I have had 5 ankle surgeries that have readily increased in complexity and resulted in chronic pain and instability. In the hopes of saving my one remaining peroneal tendon on the right side/prolonging the need for additional orthopedic surgeries, I have successfully gone through this process and am ready for the life changes ahead!

@@edodd Yay! Here is a little about me. I am 35 and 5'8, I am a mother of two toddlers and two teenage step kids. I have had back surgery and the added weight is making my back worse. I really don't want to have to go through back surgery again. My doctor thinks this will help with my back and my plantar fasciitis in my feet. I just want to be a healthy weight and be able to run with my kids!

      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!
