No way, :tongue_smilie: I thought a few times during the first two months about the fact that I cannot go and eat everything on the buffet, but that is what got me to 363 pounds in the first place. I learned the proper way to eat and too enjoy the taste of the food instead of the stuffing of it.

Love the sleeve and love watching the weight go away.

Good luck on your journey.

I don't regret my decision at all. I have my down days where eating as much as other people sounds tempting. But for the most part I love my new self more and more everyday.

I don't regret it at all. I like being able to climb stairs, fit in desks, get on the floor to play with my granddaughter, and all the stuff that comes with the weight loss. I haven't regretted it for one minute.

I've seen people post that even when they had complications early out, they still didn't regret it. I had no complications, and I would do it again in a heartbeat.

No I am really happy now, I have my life back. I would do it again in the same situation. Still not completely used to being normal though!

Not a one! Well, other than I wish I'd done this five years ago, so that I could have enjoyed my 20s as a thinner person!

I was lucky and had very little pain or discomfort post op, I've not had issues eating or getting liquids in or anything like that. I will say that no matter how complicated things got - even if, heaven forbid, I had a leak - I'd still be thrilled in the end. I'm already off my diabetes meds, and I'm not even a month out yet.

I have never, NOT EVER lost this much weight in such a short time before.

There's absolutely nothing to regret.

I'm glad that so many folks here are positive upbeat cheerleaders and I hope to very soon be one of them! Right now though I am a month out and haven't really lost any weight and am facing fears of "what have I done to myself, is this really going to work?" I know at a logical level that it will and that I need to practice patience and use this time to listen to my body but I also want to be truthful and it is not so much that I regret my decision, I am just in a place right now where I wonder if I will end up regretting it.

Are you having a stall already?

I think a stall implies that you have lost weight and have stopped losing weight for awhile. I haven't lost any weight yet. It is my opinion that the 20 pounds my doctor's scale claimed I had lost at my 2 week check up was really just fluids etc from the surgery itself.

Have you measured to see if you have lost inches? I really hope things get better for you. Don't give up yet.

      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!
