I've put myself and my health on the back burner for atleast 12 years. Thats the last time i was what i considered thin but i worked really hard to get that way and it only lasted afew years. Life got in the way preventing me for going to the gym. I had more children. Ive pretty much always been the cubby girl. Now im a 32yro mother of 4 +3 wonderful step children. A few years ago i successfully lost 40lb with WW i was feeling great but i had an accident that left me unable to excersise and i put on that 40+40. Immediately following i got pregnant and it was the most difficulty ptegnancy i had ever heard of constantly in the hospital and put on bedrest from the very begining. I was ecstatic when i had a beautiful healthy baby girl but had never felt so disgusted in my life with my appearance. I started looking into bariatric surgery. After speaking with my husband we found a wonderful team and my life has been going in a much healthier direction. When i decided to begin this journey i was 285lbs. On the date of surgery... and yes i was scared out of my mind crying with my nurse....i was 269lbs Today 12 days out i'm 254lbs!!!! Everyday hasnt been easy but i feel so much better already.

      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!
