Hello, my name is Kim and I am 44 years old. I have been overweight for the last 10 years. I finally got tired of no energy, sleep or fun!! I was beginning to fall apart medically and so with the support of my family I had my WLS Feb 21st. I am nervous that maybe the surgery didn't work for me. I haven't experienced any dumping, no nausea or vomiting and I'm beginning to worry that maybe something didn't work for me. I am constantly hungry and have lost 11 pounds. I cannot say I have lost 11 pounds because of the WLS because I feel like I'm starving to death and I'm surprised I haven't lost more in 11 days. Am I over thinking this thing and have just been lucky or could something be wrong??

I had surgery in December and I've never thrown up either. I've sometimes started to feel like the dumping was starting (fast heart rate, etc) but it only lasted 15 minutes or so and then I was fine. I also can eat more than I wish I could. My loss is slower than others but I've been able to lose 55 lbs. so, even though at times I wonder if I really did have the surgery, I'm certainly glad I've lost what I have. We are all different and we get in trouble when we compare ourselves to others, I've found. We need to Celebrate our own success and you have 11 in 11 to celebrate! Good for you!

      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.

      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!
