Hey, my name is Stephanie! I was sleeved June 14th 2016 and went from 300 lbs to 228 lbs as of today!! I have a long road to go to get to 135 lbs. But I'm glad I got this surgery. After the surgery I was put in a hospital room over night. Immediately I was off my diabetic medication. I was on my BP med for a couple weeks, but my blood pressure was getting back to normal. I was off almost all the meds I needed for medical reasons. My blood sugars are 80 in the morning and in the 80's before bed. I'm in great health. My sleep apnea has improved. I had to have the pressure dropped from 12cm to 5cm. Atm I am slacking on exercises. I will be walking in the house more because it's raining here. Anyways here are some pics... post-256625-14776342177192_thumb.jpg post-256625-14776342402475_thumb.jpg

Purple shirt was at 300# and the tank top was at 230 something. I haven't taken a recent pic in a few days.

Awesome!!!! You look great, and must be feeling so much better! Congrats on your success! I'm 6 weeks post op from sleeve surgery. Started at 388lbs. Down 38lbs so far. I've got some major struggles with being nauseous all the time, but hope it will work itself out. Can't wait to be where you are now. Continued success to us both

      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!
