I am at goal, well under, actually. I got there last month, but didn't see my surgeon till this morning, and he noted in my chart "Under goal weight"

How sweet is that?

CONGRATS! Yay for you!

What a wonderful, fantastic, inspirational feeling.

I can only hope I ever get to that point... it will be a sweet victory indeed.

Sam, you are an inspiration. Under goal and think... you will lose more with all the skin and tissue they remove! I've already had a Tummy Tuck preband... just remember while you are recovering that it will all be worth it! On the second day I thought I made a huge mistake... now I think it was the second best medical decision I've made (the lap band being the first!)

Awesome work Sammee. How great are you going to be feeling in a few weeks?

LOL That is anyones guess! This time next week? Like a cat that has been run over. Twice.

After that? I am pretty confident that within the month I will be back to my old self, IKWIM. I tend to bounce back from surgery pretty quick, and I am healthier now than I have been in 10 years.

Thank you all for your kind words. While I am not trying to "inspire" anyone (I tend to inspire the worst in people, lol) I do remember thinking "If she can do it, so can I" when I saw a post like this...

So thank you all again. I will be posting some before and during (I am not an after till the TT) in my journal later on today.

      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!
