So, my RNY was August 8th of this year. I started seeing the dietician and had my first health check visit 12/15/15, so almost 1 year ago. I started at 496 pounds. Yesterday I had an appointment and weighed in at 353. I'm 143 pounds down over about a year since I started my journey. I'd like to go about another 75 pounds. If I hit that mark, I'll be the weight I was as a junior in high school. I'm currently 42. I hope everyone else is having success with their journeys as well!!post-297227-14814035222584_thumb.jpg

You are doing GREAT!! Good for you!! I am also an RNYer. One of the very best things I ever did for myself!! Here are my STATS: HW 249( this time I had weighed 285#'s earlier just almost a year before) SW 232 LW 117 CW 125#'s. I have gained so much besides just the weight loss. I use to be on 12 different medications including shots 2 times a day for Diabetes. I got off all diabetic meds right away after my surgery. I am on less than 1/2 of my high blood pressure meds. I now take 4 meds plus my Vitamins. I can walk for my exercise. I walk 4 to 5 times a week and walk 4 to 5 miles each time I go!! So everything that I went thru was so TOTALLY worth it!! KEEP ON KEEPING ON!!!

      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!
