Wore clothes. Also made sure I went to a bathroom first, if I was busting after a car trip.

The only thing I took off were my shoes.

My bariatric practice routinely deducts two pounds for clothes and shoes. I just write whatever their scale says on my pad. It occurred to me long ago that, when you're talking about losing 100 lbs, a couple mean nothing. For the same reason I long ago stopped messing with tenths of pounds. I round up or down to the nearest whole number just as I learned in school.

I guess i should have said it better haha... So when you go in for a pre op weigh in to get approved do they let you keep your clothes on or make you wear a gown??

Sent from my LG-H811 using the BariatricPal App

When I went in for my pre op weigh in for approval, I had to remove my shoes and empty my pockets. I haven't heard of anyone having to wear a gown for their weigh in.

I left on my clothes and shoes. I was right at BMI 40, the surgeon WANTS insurance to pay so they don't force you to strip (at least mine didn't)

      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!
