Last week was week 4 for me...other than the l-b's dropping, I was sure to TAKE MEASUREMENTS! So, here's my stats: I'm 5'6", 33, Female, starting weight and measurements taken at 2-week pre-op date. I took a TON of measurements...everything that I wanted to see a change in, but here are the highlights:

3.11.11 5.1.11

weight 255 221

neck 15 14

bust 50 46

underbust 44.5 39

waist 45 40

belly button 50 45

panni (ugh) 53.5 48

hips 51 47

thigh 30 28

calf 16.5 15.5

upper arm 17 15

above elbow 13.5 11.5

Total inches LOST FOREVER: 37"!!!

This was some of the BEST advice I've received, it's so nice to not only see the numbers on the scale...but these numbers just make it all worth it!!

Hey Wishes: I'm 5'6"

I misread the original post as 5' 3". At 5' 6" we really are almost identical in starting stats. Awesome!

Congrats! I think I may start measuring myself as well, that seems like it would be way better to do than staring at the scale all day lol. :D

Yay for you!!! That's great to see numbers like that!

I know my surgeon's nurse took my measurements the first time I met with her. think I'm going to request to see them so I can start measuring myself too and watch those inches melt away!

      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!
