I'd no longer qualify for WLS!



Recommended Posts

Since surgery, I've been having a great time celebrating each time the second digit in my weight goes down. I get off the scale and actually say out loud, "see ya, 270s!" And 260s and 250s.

Now I'm happy to meet another milestone. At my current weight, I'd no longer have the BMI to qualify for WLS!

Just want to share my joy! I'm still fairly early out (a little over two months) and I know the best is yet to come!

Congratulations I too believe in celebrating small goals.

I had my weight loss surgery in 2007 and have "yet" to make it to goal. I would of given up long ago if I did not Celebrate NSV's or short time goals.

You would be surprised how many WLS patients think they are failures because they do not reach their weight loss goal.

I on the other hand am extremely grateful every day for having my active life back.

You're the first person I've come across anywhere to notice this NSV. Nifty. Or is it an SV? Who cares? We take nifty wherever we find it. Keep going.

      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!
