I JUST LOVE NEWBIES! IT BRINGS BACK THAT FEELING WE ALL HAD AT ONCE PRIOR TO OUR SURGERIES! I think it really helps hearing the stories and journies of newbies. It sort of brings us back to that major rush of how life changing it is. I am getting the band removed and getting sleeve on May 1st so hearing your excitement helps me a lot. I am having it removed because I have a leak and my body does like the port. I don't want to scare you. Nothing bad happened. Its just a personal decision I made. Plus I will find it less costly in the future from the fills. Everyone is different and I am sure you will do great! I love your count down...think I will go make my chart too. A time chart and a weight loss chart. I put a big WL chart on the back of my bedroom door. Just for me eyes only. You will be so thankful you had it. First day or two your sore, especially where the port is at. That is normal, I found walking right away helped a lot in my healing process. Yes, there were days I didn't want to get up, but that's what the meds are for. Use them if you need them to get up and walk. Keep us posted, I am excited for you..Welcome.

I love the idea on a weight loss chart! Gonna go make one up and and measurements for inches. Might even put today's clothing size and as it gets smaller.

I need that motivation to remind me to move it! Thanks Hoover!

      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!
