Before I started this whole process I saw my little scale tick up to 265. By the time my PCP had started me on the path, and I got to my surgeon I had worked the weight down to 260...ugh! Was banded the 19th of April, and this morning on the scale I saw a number I couldn't have imagined....225! The wildest part is the hope that its not the lowest my little scale will go, as I am still only 6 weeks post-op and have had no fills to date....it feels like a dream come true!!! I feel so blessed to have this opportunity to get my life back in control and to actually live!

That's so wonderful! Congrats!!! Believe me, I was in your shoes once and thought every number that was a dream come true was the lowest I'd go, but the miracle continues when you follow the program (which it looks like you're doing), so get ready for Onederland, kiddo!!! You aren't that far off :-)!

Congrats again!

      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!
