Two weeks down 5 1/2 months to go



Recommended Posts

So far I've met worth the Dr. Made a decision on getting the sleeve had my upper GI done and I am trying to not go crazy thinking about surgery being so far out. One of my friends from work just had surgery on Friday and is now home. I am so excited for her. I get to watch and learn what to expect for when I go. She and her husband both had the surgery together.

She said back pain and headache was the first two days of pain. But it's getting better.

Our Dr is Dr Lyass in Las Vegas Nevada. All of the nurses and the doctor were all so nice!

I am 5ft4" and 207 lbs. My ultimate goal is to be about 135lbs. I cannot wait to be that confident thinner person again with more energy. I have gone on every diet known and lost 95lbs in the past. But it always comes back.

I guess my surgery will maybe be some time in July? So far off it feels like! 5 months post op will be Christmas for me and we are planning a trip to see family. Wouldn't it be great if I have awesome results by then? I always shy away from getting my picture taken because I feel so Un attractive and unsightly. Can't wait! Good luck to all of you on here!

Good Luck to you too! I had to do a 6 month supervised diet too (at least that's what I'm assuming the 6 month wait is for you). I felt like the day would never come but I will be having my surgery next Tues 3/4. I promise the time will go faster than you think. Keep up the great attitude, you can do this!!

      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!
