The begining of my journey



Recommended Posts

Hi everybody i havent had my sleeve yet im scheduled for july 16 i have always been overweight the way my parents would reward us was taking us out to eat where ever we wanted to go plates were never empty icecream cups always full thats just the way we were raised dont get me wrong im not totally blaming my parents but it was normal for my family to always eat

Growing up around me my siblings we were all overweight but our friends were not i was bullied in school and at home even by my own family i hated going to school had no friends of my own but i got through it somehow in my teens i started to have a real good relationship with both my parents i got married to a wonderful and loving man who supported me no matter what

Than a few years ago i lost both my parents just a few weeks apart that was the hardest thing i ever had to go through ...with my siblings it was so much fighting and i have cut ties with them i found comfort in my food and again my husband supported me throughout all of this drama today i weigh 300 pounds and struggle to keep up with my kids the reason y i chose th do the sleeve cause what my parents did to me im doing to them so im taking a big step in my journey in hopes of having a healthier life for me and my family i cant wait to take this step

thank u to anyone who will be a support to me and any advice will be greatly appreciated

Thank u for taking time reading my post

Congratulations on making the decision to improve your life! I was sleeved on 6/30/15. So far, so good. It's not easy, but it is definitely worth it. You'll have to jump throught lots of hoops to have your surgery, but just keep focused and it will all work out. Good luck on your journey :)

      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!
