Hello! My name is Nicole :) I have been overweight most of my life. I've lost some before, but always yo-yoed.Before my surgery I weighed in at 300.4 pounds- the heaviest I've EVER been. My surgery was July 31, 2012. It's been about 2 & 1/2 months and I now weigh 259 pounds. It sees to be coming off really slowly for me. Is it just me who feels that way?

welcome and congrats on the loss. It might seem slow but it is coming off and that is the important thing. Just keep following the plan your doc has set out for you. drink your fluids, get your Protein in, and step by step day by day it will come off.

I am waiting for insurance approval for revision from a lap band (had for seven years) to rny. I just never lost very much or kept it off with the band. And it didn't help with any of my health conditions, like diabetes and asthma.

I am hoping to get approved very soon so I can get healthier.

      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.

      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!
