I never thought I'd hear myself say "I don't want to lose anymore". I've been dieting off and on for 40 years. It's always been feast or famine for me. I, like most here, have tried every diet and weight loss program created, even created a few of my own. I don't have a bikini body, but I'm very happy with what I've managed to accomplish with the help of the band. I'm more active and healthier than I've been in a very long time.

Whats more, I'm noticing that people don't remember the bigger version of me. My son made the comment the other day to his wife that there's no way I ever was large, He just can't remember that. It's only been a year, lol. I see myself in the mirror and am no longer surprised. I'm adjusting. I saw my surgeon on Thursday and we actually discussed what I can do instead of what I shouldn't do. We are both very pleased with my progress. Now on to the maintenance phase. Just wanted to share my reaching GOAL BABY!!!!!

      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!
