Yes I had my surgery on the 21st of August. In Montefiore so far I lost 20lbs the first week, I haven't weight myself after that. I don't own a scale and I don't really want to, because of the stress of seeing it and wanting to weight myself every day...the only reason I know I lost 20lbs is because I went to see my Dr.
I go again this week so I will know how much I've lost since.
I'm planning on joining planet fitness..I just don't want to go on my own but I have to do it.
How about you, did you have surgery yet? If not when?

I'm happy for you! How was this weeks been like? Almost 1 month surgeversary for you!! Did you join the gym? You need to start and later on you will love it. It happen to me, i hated going to the gym alone but I was like if I don't do it who is going to do it for me, no one so I got up one day and went and did that for like 6 months until I completely stop. Hopefully I am having surgery October or November the latest. I'm really hoping October though ;)

I am hoping for October but it seems like another thing is added to the list per specialist. I am getting a sleep study as per pulmonary which I was told in the beginning I didn't need it and now I do..... SMH And I asked in the beginning if it was part of my requirement was told everyone is different and no I did have to get one done. Would have had that done a long time ago. Last two appointments are my Pre-op from my medical provider and Nutritionist both the same day Oct 4th and I'm done God willing. I will be going to get surgery done at Mount Sinai @ St. Lukes. I was suppose to go to Montefiore but my first appointment would have been in October and would have to wait a long time for the surgery. TBH I just want to have surgery this year not next year because I want to start School in January.

      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!
