Five and a half years out



Recommended Posts

Hi All, It has been years since I have been on and I thought I'd stop by. Aug 24 2010 was a game changer for me. Its hard to believe its been over five years but my sleeve is still working. I still feel the restriction and can not overeat pizza I'd get sick if I ate two slices. Cheeseburger can not eat more then half. Need to lose a couple eat Soup for dinner. Such a wonderful tool.

Keep in touch. It seems like every day there are concerns that pop up that only veterans with at least a year under their belt can answer.

Did you have the lap band first?

No I never had the band. Someone just told me my profile said that I don't know why will have to figure out how to change it.

I am happy to hear your news. Thanks LunaRose. I came on this site specifically looking for stories of people who have been 5+ years out of surgery. This is very helpful. :)

      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!
