Yes! My bracelets and watch are all too big. And my elbows hurt when I lean on chair armrests or tables.

My 57 yr old male neighbor called and told me that I looked like I had lost a lot of weight (among other things). He only saw me down the driveway, INSIDE MY CAR!!! And he didn't know about the surg! :D It was the first time somebody commented, that didn't know. Yay!!! FINALLY!

I thought I was crazy for always putting my fingers around the opposite wrist. Its weird and exciting to notice the skinny girl beginning to emerge.

Preop weight 389 current weight 314...that's 75 lbs lost since RNY 6/11/13

Yes I have noticed this! I bought this leather coach Bracelet about a year ago that never fit and yesterday it did:) I wore heels that use to be so tight tonight. Not only were they loose but walking on four inch heels is soooo much easier minus 80 or so pounds!

I love this. I bought this killer pair of heels a few years back, and they've been collecting dust in my closet ever since. I can't wait until I don't feel like I'm going to break my ankle wearing them!

Today is one month from my surgery date and I'm considering this to be my first nsv and that is I actually weight the same as what is says on my drivers license. May sound silly but I haven't been this weight in years!

I celebrated that accomplishment too! It reads 175 but weighed 200 and now I weigh 135. Haven't changed my license yet.

I just renewed my license last month. Since I was 100 lbs down I actually was proud to put my real weight down. The first time EVER!

      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!
