best decision ever.... down 85lbs.



Recommended Posts

I posted this on another board the other day but thought I'd add it to the success stories.

I'm down a total of 85lbs, from 332 to 247, and half way to goal! That's including preop op weightloss. I've lost 53lbs since surgery 12/10/12.

Ideally i want to get to 165. That leaves about 82lbs to goal.

best decision ever is right! Congrats to you! I feel the same and you and I have very similar goals! My VSG was on 1/22. My heaviest on January 8th (the day I found out I was having surgery 13 days later) was 287 LBS. Day of surgery I was 271. Today I am 221. Total wl is exactly 1/2 way to go! I am so glad I decided to have the surgery, it has changed my life. Keep up the awesome momentum and good luck on the 2nd half of your journey!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
