Thank you ladies! I love my "new" tummy, and as sad as it is, I sang Happy Birthday to it!

I have trouble believing that a whole year has passed already, and that it has been 30 months since I was first banded. Where the heck does time go?

Thanks again!

Awesome, Chickie, just awesome! Woohoo! I can't wait to see the scar pics -- mine's still pretty red, but it's getting better every month.

Thank you so much for posting your scar picture. I just had a panniculectomy within the past 2 weeks. My left hip comes to a point where the end of the scar is and the right side has a lesser noticable bump. The hips smooths out when I put on underpants and who sees me naked but DH?

I see a slight angle at your right hip. Was that more pronounced earlier in your recovery? My PS said he'd do liposuction to the area if it bothers me too much (it doesn't).

You look awesome, by the way. I'm so excited for you!

      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!
