Just completed my 7th month visit with my surgeon, they usually do a 6th month visit but I was hospitalized at that time, a here's where I stand :

CW: 170 BMI: 30 Total loss: 75lbs

Labs: Iron low- anemia rearing it's ugly head again, I will probably never get rid of it so back to infusions like I knew I would have to...

Surprise! very low b1-may need infusions as well, hematologist will tell me tomorrow.

I still believe it was wise I chose the sleeve over the RNY or I would probably have scurvy or beriberi by now lol

All other levels are great so that is a blessing. And apparently I stress too much over my progress and setting goals because I'm right where they expect me to be.

Wow, I’m 7 months out, but no where close to what you have done, I started at 385 and down to 255. Sometimes a little lower, jumping back and forth and having a stressful eating.

You have also lost alot in the same amount of time , stress eating must be tough. What is your goal?

Good job!! Im 6 months out. I also had low b1 and Iron but it was at my 3 months appt. I got the Bariatric Advantage iron and b1 (which is hella expensive) but at my 6 month appt all my labs are back to normal! I just hit 80lbs down from surgery. Best decision ever.

You look great! Even with the minor issues you’re facing now I’m sure they pale in comparison to the life threatening obesity issues many of us could face if we didn’t have surgery! Great job on the weight loss.

      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!
