I have to take one more nutritional class and then I can schedule my sleeve . I am 5'4 and 240 lbs. I'm so afraid of what I will look like (vanity ...I know). I'm wondering if anyone started at this weight and what was your end results. Pictures would be GREAT!! Thank you

Well, my picts are kind of backwards, but you get the idea. Why does posting picts have to be so difficult for me?

I had a pretty easy time after surgery. Just remember, you can't pick up anything heavy. Not sure how old your kids are but if you have an infant, you may need to make adjustments in how you care for her/him. Also, I did get really tired easily and took naps. Can't really nap with kids so you will have to figure something out if you don't have help.

      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!
