Well let's see this summer was the first summer ever I've been able to wear cute short summer dresses and I'm 42 might not seem like a big deal to most but I felt beautiful and sexy so that alone was worth the sugery and I started dating again after 9 1/2 years.

That is very cool!

After surgery I probably won't try to wear summer dresses.......and my wife would probably object to any dating......but I'm definitely hoping for some major changes apart from just the weight loss. It sounds like this has been a life changer for you and it's very encouraging to hear!

Congratulations by the way!

I can shop in regular stores and shop for clothing cut for women, instead of men's XL.

I can swing up into my saddle without having to find a log or rock to stand on. And a I don't feel bad about making my horse pack me around the mountains.

I can walk up hills or up stairs without getting winded.

I can make it through a whole work day on my feet without my knees and ankles screaming in pain.

I wake up in the morning after being at a party the night before and not be hungover.

My monthly bank statement keeps getting bigger because my grocery store/liquor store/restaurant bills are so much less.

I can run a mile nonstop. I am really starting to like skinny jeans. I love lifting weights.

      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!
