1 year and 8 months after VSG



Recommended Posts

It has been a little less than 2 years and my loss is over 40 kgs. This is the best gift I gave myself.

Post VSG - Diabetes gone in 2 weeks - no medication since. Sugar levels actually are a bit low ! No hypertension. No medication for hypertension.

Run 5 k almost every day. Participate in marathons. Have gained a little weight for the last 2-3 months due to travel schedules but will lost that too. The before and after are attached.

Way to go!!!! I totally agree with you -one year and 2 months out - total loss of 101 lbs and no meds, no c pap machine, no high blood pressure! As you, I have gained about 5 lbs over last month from vacation etc but am losing that now!!!! I have to watch my "snacks" now because I have a tendency to want to snack on "sliders" more than when losing for some reason. Good luck in the future!

      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!
