Hi everyone,

Hope your all having a great Sunday morning. I am extremely excited to start this new journey. I was trying to find a place where I could ask questions or just feel support from others that have gone through this same experience. I'm excited to learn new information from everyone here. :D

Welcome, I had my WLS on July 2nd 2013. I had the RNY but some things cross over in both WLS. If you need any questions that I can help you with, don't hesitate to ask. Again Welcome!!

Super happy, I had no complications so it was smooth sailing for me

Research everything

Don't buy too much ahead of time

Follow your plan closely

Walk even if it's only for a few mins indoors

Smile in the mirror even if you don't like what you see yet

Track food and Water meticulously

Don't become a slave to the scale

Wow thank you for the advice Tealael I especially appreciate the comment about smiling at myself. I have to remind myself it is little by little and I will eventually meet my goals. I was worried about the scale but I'm glad you mentioned to not become a slave. I will do my best and be patient. Thank u again for your kind words. 😊

      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!
