Wedding Ring Falling Off!



Recommended Posts

Past few weeks my wedding ring has gone from "loose"...to "way too freakin loose"....to "Ok, that time It missed being lost forever by inches"

Had a jeweler fit it with a resizing wire, but think I'm gonna have to get a bit cut out of it eventually.

What a weird unexpected problem. Who knew?

If your wedding ring starts to get loose? Pay attention and get it fixed...my jeweler said more people lose wedding rings after bariatric surgery than you can imagine.

Mine is loose but not quite falling off (I have sausage fingers).

but I wear gloves for work and I am constantly putting them on and taking them off that when i take them off, the glove is bringing my engagement ring with it lol. The wedding band is ok but coming off slightly. I have just given up wearing them. I am going to buy a cheap band from Walmart. Once I hit goal weight/maintain, I will get them resized

I actually have had 3 wedding rings (Same wonderful woman) due to getting fat. I found a novel way to keep my favorite wedding ring, a killer Tungsten Carbide ring from falling off... by using my original white gold wedding ring from 20 years ago as a "stopper"! (20 year anniversary this November 13th) . The slack is worse now, this photo was taken 20+ lbs heavier ago.

I just had to take mine off because they went flying across the room. I have already resized mine twice before, and my jeweler said that sizing them too many times can wear on the quality of the metals. so I'm waiting until I hit goal before I resize mine. Doesn't bother me much, I had gone almost a year without wearing them before, due to my fingers being too fat .

I can't resize my ring. Tungsten Carbide is carved. So I have to send my ring back and they will send me a new one in my size.

      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!
