Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

1. Normal blood pressure and stopping those medications.

2. Shop in "normal" stores. I am only 5'2" and at 224 lbs it is very hard to shop and look cute.

3. My secret of all dreams is to get pregnant next year and have a baby. I have been married 15 years and never been pregnant. I am 41 so I am already pushing it but it is my most inner desire. Having gone thru multiple rounds of invetro and suffering from pcos, I really pray and hope this is my cure and answer.

4. To feel sexy again.

:)

Hi! My biggest dream is to be able to wear shorts/skirt without feeling ashamed that people are looking at how thick my legs are(also the fact my thighs rubs each other). But my biggest dream of all is being able to go to different stores and not having to quickly see their biggest size in store. Yesterday I went to the mall and I saw all the colorful clothes, smaller size that I will be able to use next summer. I cannot wait!! :rolleyes: WAY TO EXCITED :rolleyes:

Agreed. I can't wait to steal all my sisters size 10 clothes that are adorable! I'm sick of being 23 getting "Woman Within" catalogs. When I'm at my goal size I'm going to order every clothing item from every normal catalog I get. ;-)

Will this be the 2nd weight-loss surgery for anyone else? I am having a band removed and converting to RNY.

I am also a band to bypass. I don't have my date yet but I hope it's June. I'm already approved from the insurance company so I'm just waiting on my Drs. Office to give me a date. Fingers crossed!

The results I want from surgery are:

1) No more meds! and Diabetes reversed!

2) I want to put on a shirt without a "busted can of biscuits" (I passed the "muffin top" long ago)

3) I want to walk into a normal store and buy my clothes instead of the fat lady store.

I know that there are many, many more things that I want to do and feel, but this is a start.

I have always had big boobs even when I was thin. In fact my nickname when I was young was " betty boop". But 40DD isn't like a 32D. I want the sexy little demi cup where my husbands eyes pop Outta his head! :)

      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!
