Six month check up! Whoo hoo!



Recommended Posts

Just have to share especially for you newbies or those thinking about having the gastric sleeve procedure. I had my six month check up, was sleeved Feb. 3, and the news was awesome!!: Lost 85lbs,,55inches gone and best news my BMI is now below 30 I am no longer considered OBESE!! I am at 173lbs and doctor said 10 lbs more and then I should be at my ideal weight! I teach and the staff was shocked at weight loss, I lost an additional. 15 lbs over the summer. lots of compliments!! So hang in there if you are starting this process and most important DONT deviate from the diet! Learn your new eating habits! I stayed with it and didn't cheat,,,,all Protein and veggies...no starch at all. Good luck!

      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!
