Almost 6 Months Out...



Recommended Posts

Surgery date was Sept 1 2011.. highest weight was 285. Day of surgery I was approx 270... as of today down to 204 (and have been here for the past 3 weeks :/) . Nonetheless proud of my progress so far...

Was wearing women size 20 waist.. now wearing a size 11. My weight is carried in my boobs and stomach. Legs have always been small... body is just catching up LOL.

I will say ive YET to exercise... I really do eat what i want, when I want. However I do recognize im in the critcal part of my post op... the part where I need to do something (eat better, exercise), in order to keep the scale moving... :)

Do you mind if I ask how tall you are? I'm 285 now, and 5'6". Thanks for sharing this, I love seeing someone with a similar start weight show their success. It gives me hope for the future!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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?
