Pre op i was 270 ils and am now had have been 148 for a few years i even had my 2 child 4years out of surgery and stayed healthy during the pregnacy and was able to loose the extra weight which i am not gona lie scared me. I now enjoy getting dressed up and going to parties not to mention vacations but most of all i now enjoy my life and no longer obsess on how heavy i am. I wish you all much success and congrats on getting approved. Ps there will be days in the beginning that you may say why did i do this but stick threw it that part is only temporary. And the long term is so worth it.

Hang in there. The antibiotics made me so sick. I guess so there's nothing in your stomach. Good luck on your surgery. You'll be fine.

My name is Donna and I had the gastric bypass on aug 20, 2010 it was the best decision I have made in getting my life back on track and I'm down 214 pounds thus far with about another 100 pounds I would like to loose yet. But my energy level is trough the roof now and I'm doing things I haven't been able to do in years.

      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!
