HELLO EVERYONE!!!! It may be cold and cloudy outside today here, but it is such a beautiful day for myself. I just got back from the Doctors office. Great visit as always but this time was the best visit ever.

First of all, I was informed today that at 155 pounds, I have reached my doctors goal weight. We set this weight goal 2 yrs. and 3 months ago. 2 years ago, I was 267 pounds with a BMI of 47.3. Today I am 155 pounds with a BMI of 27.5.

Second of all, I have made an appointment for a consultation to discuss a Tummy Tuck. I am so excited and proud of myself.

Only bad thing about today, I am on a liquid diet until tomorrow morning and I am getting hungry! But I will manage my way through the day.

Has anyone had a tummy tuck done yet? I'm sure someone out there reading this has had it done. I'm nervous about having it done, but it is something I want done so I will have to suck it up and get past the nerves.

I dont have the funds either. Luckily I was told today that they would if I have like rashes and sores and stuff. I have a constant rash above my pubic area from the sagging skin, I get yeast infections in my bellybutton from my muffin top and between my folds, i occasionally get sores. So my doctor thinks i should not have a problem getting approved.

Congratulations!!!

My friend had one done. She said the first 3 days were horrible but after that things improved every day. She said she definitely does not regret having it done and would do it again if needed.

She said the results are awesome!!

      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.

      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!
