So I am here at my surgeons office for follow up. Is it only me or is anyone else afraid to be weighed that they will be disappointed?

I just had my follow up yesterday and I had those same feelings....not to mention its the middle of winter so I had on layers of clothing...but it went well I had a total lost of 24 pounds...dont worry bc the numbers won't be the same as pre op!

I found out that surgeons goals are def not the same as ours! Ive lost 55 in 4 months and he says I will be at his goal in 5 more lbs! Wtf. They swear that 60 percent if excess weight is the norm. Im thinking my butt better lose another 45!

I go in for my year follow up on the 28th. Im excited to step on the scale in thier office. Hell, I hope they make me a spokesperson or something... lol. Michele... my surgeon wanted me at 175.. I dont really get it because I would have still been considered overweight on the BMI chart. How did everything else go othere then his lame goal... Let us know

Everything went great. I was just shocked that they were pleased with my loss. Most people have lost at least 60to70 by this point. I havent even been able to exercise at all until yesterday. Im hoping to really knock this out and get to a very healtjy weight

D level...I asked for a prescription for a bahama vacation for some sun so my health plan would pay for it...but couldnt get him to agree! gotta take a vit d pill once a week for 12 weeks.... bummer! Hope everyone elses visit came out ok too!

I am feeling fantastic!!!

Did dr mention issue with your Water intake or something as to why?

No nothing just that I wasn't that big to start with so it will be slow. Which is totally different then what was said when I first started out. Was told I would lose 100 pounds in first 4 months.

      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!
