Hi All,

I can not believe that 2 years ago tomorrow I got my sleeve! I am so grateful for how my life has improved. In the last 2 years I have went from a size 24 to 4 and lost 156 pounds. I had plastic surgery last month and I am really starting to feel good about how I look. Most of the aches and pains i had before are all gone. The sleeve saved my life!

Just had to share :o)

Thank you all so much! I love to walk and jog. I have not been able to do much the last 2 month becasue of my plastic surgery. I watch my carbs and stay away from fried foods. Other then that I swear i eat more now then before the sleeve. My trick is to graze on good things all day so i am never starving so i dont make bad decisions!

      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!
