So excited and ready!



Recommended Posts

Hi. I'm new here. I am in the final stages of the process before setting a date for my RNY. The doctor office said it'll most likely be in Dec. I'm so excited and ready to do this. I'm 5'3 216lbs. Anyone on here with less than or about 100lbs to lose altogether? Do you find that weight falls off as much as someone who has more than that to lose? Also, anyone in the central Florida area?

Hello...welcome to the forum!

I am in the same approximate height and weight zone as you are. My surgery is scheduled for 11/3.

My first WLS was done in central Florida...

Hi. Good luck!!! I'd love to track your progress!

Where in central Florida? I'm in Tampa.

I have similar stats too. I have 1 week till surgery and I am expecting to lose slower- right now I have about 80 more I need to lose. I am also originally from Tampa :)

Hi and welcome! We're very close in stats. I'm three months out from my RNY. I'm 5'2". My HW was 248 and I was 216 the day of surgery. I'm 172 now. So I've lost 76 overall and 44 since surgery. I'm also 54, so I have a slower metabolism.

Just remember that everyone is different so don't drive yourself crazy by comparing weight loss after surgery. Your body will lose at its own rate. As long as you stick to the program, it will come off in its own time!

Congrats!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
