I'm At The Beginning Of A New Life Ahead



Recommended Posts

I've been to the seminar and have gotten a few tests done. Waiting on my Dr.'s office to get more records to them. So I've just been researching on the internet alot and eating anything I can get my hands on until the day I can't do that anymore. I know, it's not good and I know I've gained some weight just in these last months waiting. I've been struggling with my weight since puberty. It wasn't so bad when I was young and playing any sport I could but even then it wasn't easy. I've had two c-sections with 10lb babies and a botched spinal fusion, then a revision surgery from the front and back. oww. Then I just had a spinal stimulator inplanted a few weeks ago. I'm nervous because I can't exercise now but I'm hoping when I can get some of this weight off it will help with the back pain.

I live in Southern Maryland if anyone's close let me know.

I love Reggae music so so much. If anyone else does too please let me know.

I'm excited to be on this forum and can't wait to make lots of new friends and be able to help support and encourage others.

Thanks,

Karen

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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?
