I still have some double chin action going, but the first comments I got when I starting losing weight were that my face looked thinner. Can't wait until mine is gone for good!

Oh yea....the double chin definitely goes. Unfortunately it's replaced by a turkey waddle!:lol:

We lose weight from the top down.... which for PEAR shapes like me is unfortunate. SO the odds of you losing that chin are pretty darn good!

Good Luck!!!

My double chin is gone and I don't have the turkey waddle either. I am pear shaped too. I noticed my stomach has gone down a lot. Now I am waiting for the hips and buttocks to disappear. But I am happy with the results. 100 lbs down.

Hi, I'm pear shaped and please tell me after 100lbs you still have hips and butt? That's great because I dont want to loose my hips and butt, my husband would file for divorce! LOL! Running is what trims the hips and butt when you are shaped like us...looking forward to the perfect hourglass figure...goodluck!

Everybody has commented that they can see it in my face. I have lost 20 lbs and really don't see it or feel it except in the seat of myscrub pants mostly. I have been wearing scrubs since surgery because it's more comfortable with my incisions. I just put on a pair of dress pants Saturday nite and they didn't seem any bigger but the shirt I had on was looser. I think it's hard to look in the mirror and see ourselves like others do.

Funny you wrote that. Speaking for only me... Looking at both a "start date" photo and a head shot photo of me taken 45 days after surgery, I thought my hair had started to grow rapidly - Better eating, perhaps? After closer inspection, it wasn't my hair that was longer. My chin was shorter and my neck was longer!!! So, keep the hope alive!

      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!
