2-ish year update!



Recommended Posts

Hey all!

I used to visit this board a lot, well, when it was verticalsleevetalk. Life caught up with me so I wasn't able to come online much. Just wanted to give everyone an update!

I had my surgery November 21, 2011, so it's been a little over two years. Highest weight was around 289, surgery weight was 273. Proud to say I'm 160 pounds! :)

The following pictures show how far I've come and they're from my graduations. First one was high school, and I think I weighed about 250. Second was community college graduation and I was about 280. Third one is from university graduation, which was 3 days ago! :)

I'm posting this so people can further believe that this does work! Just have to keep faith in yourself!

      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!
