Hi there! I’m one month out from my VSG surgery and I’ve lost 47 lbs (21 before, 26 after). I’m still about 48 lbs from the weight I was 20 years ago, but my wedding ring is really loose. The fat had gone all around the ring, but not right under it. I’m wondering if the fat will remodel under my rings so they will fit again, or if I will need to get them resized.

Thanks!

given some more time it will even out mostly by going away.

this one was a great NSV for me - putting my wedding ring back on after years of it sitting in a drawer.

then you may need it resized but wait for a few months

I had to put my rings in to the jeweller last week to get the m resized.

6 months out (today) - 71lbs down. 🎉🎉

I used sizers for awhile but eventually just had my rings sized at a jewelers. I’m about 7 months out but I’m really hoping my fingers don’t shrink anymore

My rings were loose from the very beginning. My feet and hands shrunk immediately. But it took about 2 months to get back into my rings. Now they are borderline falling off, but they said its bad for your rings to have them sized too many times. Therefore, I'm holding off, because I've already had them done twice in the past.

Just don’t keep wearing them if they’re loose - I gestured the other day and my ring flew off my hand and into a pond. It was costume jewelry, thankfully, but still!

I really wanted a titanium or tungsten carbide wedding band, but that meant I’d have to buy a new ring if my size changed (neither medal can be sized). I think I’m on my fourth or fifth wedding band now (I don’t pay more than $20 for any of them). In total I’m down about 4.5 ring sizes.

      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!
