Introducing me...

Hey guys, I'm new and will probably be popping in on the group. I scheduled for surgery next week, 16th. I do not have an angel yet and would very much like one. My name is Mona and I'm 347. My goal weight is 160 as I'm 5'8" (snd a half but no one wants to give me credit for my half). So that's a goal loss of about 187.

I chose gastric sleeve because it seemed like a no brainer. Less evasive and I'm also already hypoglycemic.

Well, hello everyone. Looking forward to getting to know some of you.

Mona

Hi Mona! I'm 5'8" also (no 1/2 for me, and these days I really have to stand tall to make the 8"! LOL), and my original goal weight is also 160. Got 12 pounds to go and if I can do it, so can you! You're making a wonderful choice with the sleeve, and lots of people have lost over 200 lbs. with it. Welcome!

Hi Mona,

I am 5'6 and my original weight was 343 pre op. On my surgery date November 10th I was 320. Here I am on December 11th and I am 285. My goal is to get to 125.

I hope you have a wonderful surgery. Mine went great with no complications and I have been loving life afterwards now.

      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!
