So two weeks from today I fly to Mexicali and two weeks from tomorrow I will be sleeved. Things that I never thought could happen to me are feeling possible.

*I will be healthy enough to have babies

*My knees won't hurt

*I will not be too tired to carry my laundry up the stairs

*I won't be destined to get diabetes

*I won't be angry at Halloween when I can't find a costume to fit

*I won't be the girl with "the pretty face," I can just be the pretty girl.

*I won't need to cringe when its time for takeoff and have to ask for a seatbelt extender.

*I will know that if something goes wrong in a relationship, at work, or in play it will be because of something I did not because of how overweight I am.

*I will be able to walk into a store and know that my lack of cash might prevent me from buying the things I want, but not my booty.

*I will be able to enjoy the things I like to eat, without being obsessed.

*I will be able to have the energy to paddle the boat when I go rafting, rather than just going along for the ride.

*I will be able to finally feel like the outside of me, looks more like how I feel inside.

*When I get married, I will be able to fully give my body to my husband, and not feel ashamed or scared.

I know that this won't fix all life's problems, but life is difficult and painful all in its own and it will be so nice to be able to face those difficulties without 150 extra pounds weighing me down. I'm so excited to get started.

      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!
