Shopping for an outfit for an interview tomorrow. Quite possibly the worst experience of my life as the size 26 clothes are more like tents than shirts and pants. Surgery and a new life can't get here fast enough!!!

Totally understand your pain. Hope you can find something to at least feel pulled together tomorrow. Wishing you a quick wait for surgery!

I like dress barn for work appropriate dresses and check out if there is a store called "Clothes Mentor" in your area. It is the grown up equivalent to Once Upon a Child and Platos closet. They are very picky about the clothes they accept and their pricing, while not cheap, is definitely better than buying items new. You are going to be on the loser's bench soon so it doesn't have to last 10 years. Good luck at your interview!

Update: After leaving Catherine's a feeling a little better since I found an OK outfit, my phone was stolen at The Shoe Depot! I will now have to pay a 200 dollar deductible for a new phone, which makes this outfit pretty darn expensive. Worse, I lost many photos and videos of my two-year-old that I will never be able to get back. All and all, not a great shopping trip!

Just go in and exude confidence. If it is meant to be it will be. I will promise you that the best is to come, and having the sleeve will be the best thing you ever did for yourself. Your phone is a material thing, but I am so sorry. I feel that pain. Hunt up some replacement pictures you shared with others or on FB. Also that phone may turn up so be sure and retrace your steps before you order another phone! Good luck for everything to come!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
