What was everybody starting weight ?? Mines is 366 but I’m 5’5 in a half. I’m kinda discouraged because of my weight, I’ve been reading on stories and haven’t seen anyone as heavy as me!!! My surgery date is on the 13th two days and I’m overly nervous, I think it’s more of me dealing with sleep apnea and my weight.. can all you guys pray for me please thanks for all in advance !!!!!

My starting weight was 225 pounds. I'm 5'1". I lost 7 pounds on the pre-op diet and weighed in at 218 on the day of my surgery.

Good luck to you. I will send prayers per your request. :)

Hi Monica, good luck and I will definitely keep you in my prayers. I wouldn’t worry about the sleep apnea as long as your doc is aware so they can monitor your condition and make sure you have what’s needed after surgery.

Im 5’6 and started at 255

Hi Monica,

My high weight was 334 lbs. The day of surgery I weighed 312. I'm 5'7".

Now I weigh 190 lbs.

I also have sleep apnea and I use a CPAP machine nightly.

Try not to worry, you should do fine. Prayers for you.

:)

Good luck and keep focused on your goal! My starting weight was 367 surgery weight 353 and now 175 in less than 2 years. It can happen, it is a whole new world and I wouldn't change a thing (other than doing it sooner!)

      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!
