So before surgery I had high cholesterol (254), high triglycerides (370+), high blood pressure and heart rate (average 150/100 with hr over 105) and was concidered pre diabetic.

As of today being almost 5 months post op and down almost 60lbs I have great bp and hr (120/80 with hr of 75 to 85; ive been off meds since month 1), normal triglycerides (low 200)and normal sugars. Unfortunately my cholesterol is exactly the same but that is a cruddy thing about genetics. Ive dropped 2 pants sizes and fit into all my old clothes that I put away a year ago when I couldnt fit in them anymore. It feels great. My doc wants me to drop 8 more lbs by my 6 month check up oct 21st, which is doable, but I cant do the gym for another 10 days because of having my gallbladder out only 2 weeks ago.

Before I ramble on forever I just wantto say im happy :)

Congratulations!

NSV's are just as exciting (sometimes more exciting) as watching the numbers go down on the scales. Great job!

      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!
