Hi everyone

I'm an Aussie girl trying to decide whether to go with a sleeve or bypass after 12 years of two bands with continual problems and finally saying no more in jan 13. Since band has come out I've gained 20lb!!!!! Arrhgggggh.

I've got an amazing partner who is very athletic and whippet slim but very supportive SPF whatever decision I feel is best for me.

First surgeon apt next week! Scared but excited!

I decided on rny because I have bad reflux from band damage and that's a problem with the sleeve. I'm scheduled for March 21. Don't forget to check out the band to bypass forums.

How are you doing? What stage are you at

I'm on the soft food stage. I just don't understand I don't eat much either as it has been a struggle since surgery. Surgery date was 2/1/13 and have only lost 17lbs since, I also exercise 3-4 times a week 40-60 min. You don't know how bad I want to loose this weight. Any trick suggestion advice I would gladly take it as you have an excellent outcome CONGRATS again!

To be honest I have hardly done any exercise. I try and make sure my Protein is always number one regardless if I miss out on every other food group. Your loss is not bad. Mine was slow in the first month too and I am still hardly ever hungry. Greek yogurt has been a very close friend and my Protein Drinks. I don't have much variety but if there is anything I can help you with don't hesitate to ask.

      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!
