At my heaviest weight I was 425lbs. Walking up one flight of stairs was an act of God. I swear all the time and was out of breath more times than not. I really thought that after 30 years of battling my weight that I would die just like that.

On December 3, 2014, I had RNY gastric bypass and what an amazing journey it's been. I'm down over 250lbs from my heaviest weight and 163 since my surgery.

I can walk, breathe, run and live freely. I always felt trapped in my body and now I feel like I can do anything! On November 6th I'm running the NYC Marathon and for a woman who needed prayer to walk up one flight it's a testament to how this tool can work if you really work it!

Every day is a blessing! post-206937-14723475503899_thumb.jpg

      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!
