Newwwee ! Sergury March 7 [emoji847][emoji51][emoji18]



Recommended Posts

Welcome to the loser bench!! I was nervous too. No need to be. Trust your team. The excitement is the best part. I call my surgery date my Phoenix Day. It was the day, the old me was left on that surgical table and the new me was born. I have changed so much in a year. With 71 lbs gone, I can never imagine going back. I refuse. I love what I have accomplished. I done more in one year than I could ever imagine. It’s the best feeling and I cannot wait for when you feel that way!!!!

Good luck!!!

I’m from London, England and had the procedure 11 days ago. I’m a complete newbie and it’s early days but it honestly will be the best decision you will ever make in your life especially if your someone that’s struggled with your weight most of their life like me. Good luck!

Oh yeah have struggled nonstop. Lost weight few times but gained it back. Have several medical issues that make things a bit tough. But have managed to take off 48 lbs while prepping for the big day. Ready for a new me. I want to say at 54 that I’m in better shape than I was at 35-40. Hubby and I got some definite hiking trails to do this year. He had his surgery on Dec 4th and is doing amazing!!!! Very very proud of 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!
