Recommended Posts

Just got approved for my sleeve surgury. Dec 5th is the big day! So now I'll spend more time here reading the stories for support in what I have chosen to do. So sick of being fat. 6'1" 305. I've been a big guy for the last 30 years. Started power lifting in my early 20's and the weight just added up. But I had a 30" waist! huge biceps and a 48" chest. all good and then I stopped lifting and running. Ahhhhhhhhhh The weight wouldn't come off and now almost 30 years later I'm here. So sick of seeing my belly and feeling uncomfortable. Hips hurt, knees hurt and little endurance. I can't wait to be thin again!!!!!!!!!!

I'm having my pre/op appt. on the day you are having the surgury so good luck as I'll be thinking of your success! Having mine done by Dr. kemmerling at Aurora in Green Bay. Good luck and keep me posted!

      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!
