I had sleeve surgery on 12/12 and have been doing well losing weight. I started at 232 lbs so not super large but definitely overweight at 5'6". Since I've been back to work nobody has asked about my weight loss, partially I think it's because I work in an office with quite a few caddy women so god for bid they'd pay anyone a compliment. Anyways, one of our managers came in town yesterday and he looked at me and stumbled a bit, he said "Whit I don't mean to be rude but have you lost a little I mean a lot of weight"? I wanted to kiss him lol finally someone besides my parents said something...it's taken losing 36 pounds but definitely well worth it!!!

Thank you both! It's coming off slowly but surely! I can't complain as my weight definitely didn't come on overnight! I'm in good spirits and not a day goes past that I am not 100% glad I started this journey!

They said at our weight it takes around 30-40 lbs for others to notice I had weight loss once before and I found that to be true as well! We can feel it first before anyone can see it. I definitely felt lighter in my walk even getting out of the tub was way easier! Imagen a gallon of milk I think is about 5 lbs so u just dropped 8 gallons of milk !!! :) awesome feeling isn't it?

      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!
