I would like to be a part of the group as well, but I am curious if it is not a secret group that folks could read the description which states bariatric surgery.

Surgery is March 15th in Tucson.

I've removed all references to surgery or weight loss on the page, just in case

@chelmybel I'm so sorry to hear that. Did they give you an action plan of things you could to be approved or reassessed at a later date?

I'm so sorry :( Did they explain the results to you? It is the sort of thing were just don't think you're ready yet, but with time and counselling you'll get there?

:) Sleeve surgery at 7:30 am tomorrow. I am so ready.

I am Catherine 65 years young from Braintree, MA. My starting weight was 276 at Christmas. I am only 4' 11" tall.

As of today I have already lost 25 lbs. I won't deny that I am very nervous or should I say anxious but my beautiful daughter is traveling now to be with me for the next few days.

Say a prayer and wish me luck

God Bless

      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!
