Hello! Great place you have here. I look forward to getting to know you awesome, brave, smart, good looking people! Lol:)

A little about me:

I had the roux-en-y many years ago, about 15ish?

Then a revision with limb lengething about 6 mo. Ago... That was working as far as weight loss, but I had a lot of symptoms, including intestinal issues. 24/7

So..... Last week I went in for a band over the whole she-bang! With a little shortening to get my tummy troubles under control. So far, so good. Yeah, I know. It's still early. But I'm optimimistic!

I'm in my mid 30s I would love to get to about 155 pounds. I just want to be really healthy so I can be more active and adventurous.

I couldn't agree with you more! When I had it done the first time is was a pretty uncommon procedure. I went out of town for it and had no follow up instructions. Times have changed so much, thank goodness!

I'm down 50+ pounds since the revision 6mo. Ago. things seem to be working for me. I love that there is so much experience and knowledge here in one place:)

      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!
