Trust my body is not flawless but I am very happy with how things turned out. I can wear lingerie and look sexy, I can shop anywhere and the funniest thing is my 18 year old daughter we wear the same size now and she is always in my closet (lol).

For the question of stretch marks, my sister is 5 yrs out she went from 235 to 125 her arms and thighs have hanging skin that is noticeable with stretch marks, however she is so thin in those area (and actually to me too skinny all over ) . We all have to understand we abused our bodies up til having the surgery. I have stretch marks everywhere from my upper arms down to behind my knees. You will have hanging skin, but remember do u really think it would be worse to stay obese and unhealthy ? I don't know anybody who would change going back to the way they were and I personally know at least 15 people who have had surgery

To anyone that has saggy skin, I have a small amount of hanging skin in the belly area, but no sagging on my legs or arms. Very little stretch marks. My doctor said I didn't have the sagging problem because I had Solid Fat. Plus I was in the gym way before I was suppose to be. I was just determined to not have the excessive skin hanging. I can wear shorts & pencil Skirts without being worried about my legs or thights. I'm not worried about my stomach I've had 5 children so I already didn't have a flat stomach.

That's great, just don't overdue it like I did. I was in the gym 2 weeks after my surgery and almost passed out. I'm very hard headed (LOL). My doctor told me that I wasn't taking in enough calories to be going to the gym to burn off calories. So I stopped then started back a month later, but in the meantime do weights on your arms (so you can build up muscle) and walk.

      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.

        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!
