Recommended Posts

I'm 39 and my Bday on Valentines Day. I'm 3 week post surgery. My BM are different. I suppose it is normal so my body can adjust. No complications Thank GOD. I do have way more energy now. I still track all the food I eat with my S Health App as I started Jan 16. My skin is starting to sag a lil. I can go to the Gym yet, but I walk about 2 mikes a day so my legs are firming up. My cousin wife is 1 year post surgery. She has some sag but not as much. She is considering surgery (You know women) to get her ideal look.

I hope I do as well. I have alot to lose (120+) so I expect some "sag" I just don't want to have so much that I NEED skin surgery.

I am older at 48 I am 10 months out and nearly at goal. My under chin was bad around 6 months but has gotten much better now. My abdomen is very crepey, but doesn't really hang, my stomach above belly button is fine. My inner thighs a little crepey too. So I plan to wear bike short like swim shorts and bikini top. My bat wings also were bad around 6 months, but closer to goal the skin is more shriveled and wrinkly than hanging. Really unnoticeable and with weight lifting it is looking better. Good luck. One caveat I feel great and even with more face wrinkles I get a lot more attention from men and women it's crazy!

Sounds like you are happy with the results. Did you have alot to lose to begin with? I probably need to lose at least 120lbs. My main "goal" is to be pain free! I will deal with the cosmetic issues as they come, but if I am not always tired and in pain I think I could get through anything!!

Congratulations on your achievements so far!!!

I had 98 to lose. So not that different. I am very strict low carb, so my inflammation is way down and my pain now non existent! You are going to be so happy, just remember it is a journey.

      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!
