Hello to all

I was sleeved on the 31st of January at Womack Army Medical Center on Fort Bragg. At the beginning of my journey I was 5'2 and 215. I lost some weight on my own andgot down to 207 the day before my surgery. Ten days after surgery I lost 13 pounds. As of now I dont know how much more weight I have lost because I dont like to get on he scale everyday. Im looking forward to losing weght and being comfortable with myself. The doctor says that in six months I should be at my goal weight...which is 130 or 140. Last time I checked my weight was 194. I know that I dont have a lot to lose, but everyones journey is different...so dont judge.

      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.

        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!
