My Start weight was 328 pounds and I am 5 foot four, I am from Canada and had a two week liquid diet prior to surgery, On the day of surgery May 30, 2013 I weighed in at 318 pounds. I have been losing approximately 1 pound a day, today i i am weigh 305 pounds!! I hope the weight continues to drop daily even weekly.

Dreamingofhealth did/ are you having surgery down here? Who is your surgeon ?

I'm having my surgery in Victoria with Dr. Malik. It sucks that I have to travel back and fourth so much, but I didn't have to wait that long.

What about you?

Wow that is quite the travel. I had My surgery in Richmond with Dr. Sampath on May 30, 2013 I waited one year for my referral to get to him and then six months later I had surgery. I have the understanding that Victoria had like years and years waitlist my friend was on it for seven years and my other friend has been on it 4 years already and just had Her surgery the same day as me in Richmond! so definitely a longer wait in Victoria than Richmond.

      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!
