Working on myself one step at a time!

So I just got my teeth done and will be getting the implants procedure done later this year to hold up my dentures. I let myself go for too long and now it is time to get back on track! I love my new smile and I can't wait to see my new slimmer weight!

Doesn't it feel wonderful to get something done that has been bothering you for a long while? I also had a problem with my teeth that really affected my smile and I just lived with for too long. I finally got it Fixed a couple of years ago. What a boost to my morale! Why did I wait?

I did the same thing with WLS. Almost a decade ago I went through the entire testing process and got approved for lap band surgery. But I chickened out and didn't go through with it. I carried around more than 100 lbs of extra weight for all those years until I wised up and found my courage. I ended up getting the VSG instead, which I am very happy with.

Good for you that you aren't waiting. Go for it.

@@IcanMakeit yes it does! Thank you for sharing your story as well. Yes I have been suffering with my teeth for almost a decade and I finally got it done. Thank you Jesus! I don't know why I waited for so long. It looks great :) I am nervous about getting the gastric sleeve surgery but I know I will regret it if I don't get it done. Now its just to try and find a great affordable doctor to get it done. :)

      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!
