I have the highest BMI of anyone I have seen here on the boards and personally.

My BMI was 55+ when I made decision to sleeve in early March. I fast tracked everything and had VSG on April 16.

At 56 years of age, and requiring full replacement of both knees, it was only option to go forward.

Now, at approx. 2 months post-op, I am sooooooo happy to have done this. I have lost 60+ lbs and BMI is now in mid-40s already.

My BMI was 50. In one week after surgery my weight loss took 4 points off to 46. Congrats everyone! Maybe we will go from BMIs of Texas to BMIs of Delaware!

I had my surgery on Wednesday June 10th. They were great! Preop and postop everything has gone as expected so far! Aimee and Jodi, the dietitians, are both fantastic. Never met Dr. Seger or Dr. Duperior but I hear really good things about them as well.

Haha I thought that was what you meant since I am using BMI of Utah, but I too thought the posts were funny.

      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!
