T Minust 10 Days Till Tightened Back Up



Recommended Posts

So 3 and a half wks ago I was loosened prior to brachioplasty. Following my ps I gained 30 lbs!!!! Holy crap right?! It was av lot of Fluid but def some chub to. Not being able to exercise & being able to eat me took its toll.

Well last week I decided to gain some contol back. Started thinking while I'm eating and consciously questioning each bite & my fullness. Now down 16 of the 30 lb gain! I had complications with surgery & am still unable to exercise though.

@ my unfill my doc actually discouraged me from coming back to b tightened back up. He said I had lost more weight than the vast majority of his pts ever do & in a short time. I'm 5'7" & have gone from 284 to 164 (@my lowest )

My concern is my wt gain & feeling of being so close to goal prior to it. My goal is 150. I scheduled a fill for June 5th & am hoping he will give it to me. I don't want to be super tight again the way I put it is.... I want to b 1 taco tight not 2-3 taco tight. Lol

Thoughts...

      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!
