Sure. My surgery was 5/12/14. Date of surgery I was 237. Today I was 121. I initially had VSG but converted to RNY on 7/1/16 because of out of control acid. If you have any other questions, please let me know!

I am in nor cal. Central coast. But I am a dinosaur with a lap band (12/06)

I am happy to see others doing Wls. It is the best move I ever made.

I lost about 100 lbs. now 90. But about once a year I get to the 100 lb loss again

It is a daily process and Protein and Water and exercise seemed to be my trilogy. I am embarrassed to say I seem to have to pay my exercise trainer to keep me going. (I just don't put it first when I don't)

Keep posting. Us veterans love to see the changes!!

I'm in Nor Cal. Sleeved yesterday at

Kaiser Richmond. Great program. Didn't have a 12 week class but they do have additional classes they have you take if

you are having a hard time losing the weight they require pre surgery. My hubs and I started the process the same day and he was sleeved two months from the day we started and I was 2.5 weeks after him.

      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!
