Hey Mike,

I'm new too welcome! Do you have a surgery date yet? What part of the process are you at? I'm on month 2 of a 7 month insurance required diet.

G'day @@Mike Dumas

Welcome and all the best to you...

I was another 500+lb starter (565 actually) about 14 months ago...

I've lost around 240 of those pounds so far and am well on the way...

Mate, if you EVER have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask them, either here or in Private Message...

As I'm sure you've noticed when you looked around, there's very little that's off limits and there's a whole lotta love and support in the place...

Good luck to you mate...

Keep us all updated!!

@@Mike Dumas

hey dude

has anyone welcomed you yet?! ;)

that's great that you have been reading the board

learning good info

good luck to finishing jumping through the hoops of insurance

you'll get there sooner than later

some docs put you on pre-op (ex liquids only)

good luck with that!!

if you can get through this, you can probably do anything

good luck

@@Mike Dumas WELCOME!!!!

Oh wait ... I think someone else already said that ;)

I'm in GA too ... Just outside of Atlanta ... had the sleeve last July ... been on the boards ever since ...

These people are my adopted family ... they are ALWAYS here when I need them ... To give me a hug or give me strength or a kick in the pants ...

You too will find them inspirational and motivational and probably the only ones in your life that actually "get it" ....

I wish you THE BEST and stick around ... You'll enjoy it !!!

You got this!

Be Blessed!

      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!
