My name's Cheyenne, I am 22 and I had gastric bypass surgery on September 2nd of last year and it was the best thing to ever happen to me.

As a child, I struggled with anxiety, depression and stress as well as surfing from all from all three eating disorders and schizophrenia.

By the age of 20, I was 338+ pounds, diabetic, suffered from acid reflux, fibromyalgia, had breathing problems and had a really bad and heavy irregular period.

I knew I had to make a change, I knew that if I didn't do something, I'd die and never get to make my life dreams a reality so, after doing some serious research, I signed up for gastric bypass with Dr.Daniel Cronk of Methodist Hospital in Omaha, Nebraska.

It took a year to get it done with all the medicaid and rejection but, finally, on September 2nd, 2015 at 1:30, I went in as 311 pounds for surgery and so far I have lost 58 pounds and I am set for 125 pounds.

I'd never thought I'd see myself here, I never thought I'd be alive at this point in my life. Its truly amazing.

      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!
