My surgeons office called today to ask if I would participate in their seminar this Thursday evening! What an honor! I have lost 86 pounds and I am only 3 pounds from a normal weight, 13 pounds from my personal goal and 14 pounds from losing 100 pounds! Woop!

When I was at my seminar, they had about 10 people there who told there story and there were only two sleevers there. One of those was my inspiration and he really helped me. I hope to be someone elses inspiration. Its surreal to think that I am going to be one of those inspirational people! I told my husband at my seminar that I wanted to do that when I reached goal and now its here, I get to do one and I am only 9.5 months out from my surgery! Woooop! She also told me that they are performing more sleeves now than any other procedure but have mostly GB patients who come to the seminars for them. I will be the only sleever there representing! I better do us all proud!

Now to pick an outfit to wear!

I am so excited for you. I remember thinking at my seminar that the people that spoke were soooooo far out from their surgeries. I wanted someone to speak that was still kinda new. You will do great. I just wish your sister could be here to see/hear you (and the others) speak.

      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!
