Hi All,

Excited I came across this group. This is super awesome. I live in Frisco Texas with my husband of 14 yrs this upcoming October 28th and our baby girl Gidget, a 7lb Pom Pom, lol. She is 8. Our 5 year wedding Anniversary is on Oct 28th as well. I'm slated to have my surgery the day after our anniversary. I promise I never planned it that way.

I can't wait to hear the journey of others and share experiences, thoughts, and tips. I've watched all the you tube videos of the surgery and have seen a lot of before and after slide shows. I doubt I will start a video blog, but seems like a good idea.

I'm currently 330 lbs. This is the most I have ever weighed in my entire life. I've struggled with every weight loss program over the years. Only to gain back what I lost and then some. I'm tired of being tired. And can't wait to obtain a fresh and healthy start.

Any others having surgery this month? Again, glad I found this group and wish everyone a safe and healthy Weightloss journey.

Thanks,

Bobby

Good luck. My highest weight was 360 and on the 10th of October will be my 3 month and I am at 250. Lost 54 before the sleeve and 56 since the sleeve. Best choice I ever made.

Keep us posted on your progress while on your pre op diet.

      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!
