Thank you for all the compliments sleeve sisters and brothers! I am greatful that I was able to have this life changing surgery. I feel so blessed!

The support, information and advise we find on forum has kept me focused on doing the right things and accountable. I know that some people are just exploring their options, some are just starting their journey, some are post-VSG and are on their way. I used to look at before & after pictures and dream about the possibility of someday posting my own - those pictures kept me motivated and encouraged! So if I can pay-it-forward and help one person on their journey - that would be awesome.

Cheers to the New Year! I am sending you all wishes for a happy year filled with health, prosperity, success, love and loads of fun!

Kimmes, I've said it before and I'll say it again! You look amazing! You are soooo trim! What an amazing transformation. As you know I have been sleeved nearly 18mths now and I still love looking at goal pics and reading other people's journeys... when I see successes as brilliant as yours, it really does motivated me to get to my goal too! Congratulations on being a motivator and a big loser! =]

COOPS - You have inspired me on my journey! You went before me and I have read each of your posts and admired your determination and focus! Thank you for always sharing your story! I love being called a "Big Loser" - what a nice compliment - lol!

      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!
