16 Months Post Op Update!



Recommended Posts

Hello all,

It's been awhile. I lurk from time to time on my phone but I am not on here as much as I once was. Life and work is hectic but all around enjoyable. In the last 16 months of my life I have grown so much as a person in my personal life and also in my career. In the 16 months since my surgery and I am still loving my decision. I feel that with my weight loss I have been able to have the energy and confidence to accomplish all these changes in my life. In the last 4 months I have:

Reached and bypassed goal #2 of 140. I am currently at 135 and have even gotten as low as 133!

I weigh less than my husband and have and can wear his size 32 jeans! (I have not been able to do this since 2000)

Fit and successfully wear a SIZE 6 pencil skirt!! See picture below!!!!

**All of this WITHOUT a workout routine! Thank you SLEEVE!**

OMG. You look awesome. I haven't had my surgery yet, I am hoping for a date in early January so I am wishing, hoping and praying to look as good as you when I am 16 months out.

Thank you thank you all! I'm still shocked to this day when I look at the pictures side by side! I remember with tears in my eyes being on the other side just hoping that someday I could have a before & after not just a before. Now I have not one but 2 afters! (goals 1&2) everyone on that other side just keep your chin up and those that may be struggling or in a stall just keep focused you can & will succeed! Thank you all!

      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!
