Hey everyone! I know it's been FOREVER since anyone has seen a post from me, but here's how my life has been since my surgery on 9/27/10:

- I currently weigh 199. That's 134 lbs lost :)

-I got engaged on 10/27/11

-I went from a size 26/28 to a 14

-I'm moving to Seattle with my fiance next week

-In November, I was at work and had what I thought was a heart attack. After a trip to the ER, I found out I had gallstones. So yesterday I had my gallbladder removed and I'm hanging out at home trying to recover, while at the same time having to pack to move next Tuesday ANNNND go to Orlando this weekend to meet with wedding vendors.

That's how my life has been since surgery in a nutshell :biggrin5:

Thanks everyone! This gallbladder situation was NO JOKE but I'm glad I got it taken care of before the move. And MissDiva, you look absolutely amazing!! I really need to get back into the gym as soon as I can. I've got a pretty important dress to wear in about 6 months :)

I don't know how long the recoup is for this surgery, but luckily I'll be moving to a place with a lot of walking space. If anything, I will start there.

Congratulations on all your big news! Gallbladder isn't fun, but it won't take you long to be up and at 'em--they took it out laparoscopically, right? Glad things are going so well for you. :-)

      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!
