Highest weight 305

Day of surgery 290

Cw 219

Day of surgery I was on 11 different meds doctor wanted me on a Insulin pump my A1C was 10.9 I had high blood pressure, gout, acid reflux, bad knees and a bad leg, my back hurt all the time as well as my feet Hell I hurt all over.

My waist was 46-48 .

To day I'm down 86 lbs from the start of my journey 71 lbs from surgery and my A1C just came back at 6.0. Today I'm wearing pants that are 38 waist I went from a 2x-3x shirt today I'm wearing a large to XL.

My trainer at the gym has grounded me from the weight room till I can do 1 hour of cardio what good is muscle if your heart quits working.

I'm off all 11 meds don't need Insulin and I feel GREAT my back, my knees, my feet don't hurt any more. I do like the way I'm looking and so does my wife.

Would I do this again NO because I'm not getting FAT ever again.

Would I recommend this to any one YES I WOULD it's the best thing you could ever do for your self and the ones you love.

56 lbs to target weight

      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!
