Hi, I am new to this site . I am a month post op. Came across this app by accident but I am glad I did . I started off 283 pre op. Right before surgery weighed 265..... I am know down to 248.9. Decided to have this surgery one because I have Thyroid problems and I was also diagnosed with arthritis 3 yrs ago . To make a long story short after not being able to walk earlier this summer I had to make a life long decision...at 37.

You are doing fantastic! Welcome to the "losers" bench. I found this site doing a search for Gastric Bypass Forums not long ago. Then I later realized I could carry my new friends everywhere I go using the phone app. I am excited to be having my surgery soon. While my immediate family may not totally understand how I feel after the surgery, I know I have this "family" to turn to when I need them........Welcome!

Thank you MrsBlues ....I understand how you feel. I actually did ntt tell anyone in my family except 3 people ...my hubby ...sister and niece. I have 7 sisters and only one knew just because she had the surgery a yr ago in Oct . I just didn't want any negative feed back but to my surprise it wasn't any . My husband called them while I was in surgery...lol . Its good to have some where to go for extra support. I currently live in the St.Louis area but will be relocating to GA ...looking to connect . If you knw of anyone please let me know!!!!

      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!
