I had my surgery in March of 2012. I must say its been a pretty easy ride for me. I did get sick a few times in the beginning from not chewing enough or eating something my pouch didn't like. But I wouldn't change a thing about this journey.

I still have about 10lbs to lose and they're fighting me every step of the way lol! But I'll get them off :)!

Hi Tammy.

Glad to see you on here for an update. I'm 11 months and I've lost 100 pounds. I'm struggling now to keep losing, so I'm going through a major stall. I'm still 30 to 50 pounds away from my goal.

I had my surgery March of 2011. I started at 289 and am at 162. I still see myself as heavy, and I am very very scared I am getting to relaxed and will go back to being heavy again. I am 39 yrs old and don't want to go back where I was.

      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!
