Hi All,

I am so excited, I am down 70lbs as of today!! I was sleeved in Mexico on 10/09/12, it has been quite the journey so far, it hasnt been the easiest but its great. I am still learning what to eat but at least m stomach lets me know if it doesnt like something! I havent started exercising but joined the Y yesterday so Ill be at it tomorrow.

To all the old sleevers thank you for posting on here, it really motivated me and to the new sleevers, dont think twice about having the surgery, just do it!! Its so wonderful to feel comfortable with your body and not feel like the monster in the room all the time. Being fat is so restricting on life and I am finally starting to enjoy mine!

I am adding some pics, the 1st one is close to my heaviest, the 2nd is about 3 weeks ago, the 3rd is Christmas day.

Life is good :-)

Charlie

      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!
