At the start of my journey on 4/9/12, my weight was 366lbs and my BMI was 61. It was my first clinic visit. I was sleeved on 7/30. At my 2nd post op visit, I'm down to 314lbs and my BMI is 52. I still had to use my walker because of my knees, arthritis, but, I didn't get short of breath or break out drenched in sweat. I know this is just the beginning, but, I had to pat myself on the back because I can't believe I'm really doing this! My only regret is, I WANT TO CHUG DOWN A BOTTLE OF ICE WATER!!! If only, lol!!! My fear is, Lord please don't let me turn into a cougar!!! Ok, I'm cracking up over here!

      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!
