Also known as clothes that no longer fit. I'm excited and depressed at the same time. Why did I allow myself to get so unhealthy? I'm so glad I decided to get the sleeve. I was sleeved on 12/26 and have not looked back.

I am thankful for this forum. When I decided to get a lap band I read the forums and quickly decided that the sleeve was a better option I did not have insurance that would cover the surgery so I saved and took out a loan to cover the difference.

I hated the pre op diet but made my way through 2 weeks and lost 9 pounds total before surgery. It wasn't easy but I was determined. I told myself it was important to have a positive attitude so I did. I read the forums before surgery and knew what to do and what to expect.

I'm at 3 months out and have lost 54 pounds so far. I'm 4 pounds away from onederland I am looking better and feeling great. Good luck to all of you ready to start this journey I love my life and my sleeve

You know what's weird? Is I've cleaned out my closet several times..... And I have the piles of clothes sitting in my upstairs hall. I have not been able to get rid of them yet. My husband was like "umm Laura are you going to do something about these"

I think I'm having a hard time in believing that this is real and just might work!

I am going to get rid of them this week!

Way to go!! I actually put a Rubbermaid tote in my closet, if it is too big it goes in there and I make a goodwill trip once its full, it's a great feeling!!!

      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.

      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!
