Every time I got on the digital scale at my surgeon's office it was always 10-15 pounds heavier than my digital scale at home.

At my 1 month post-op I was 398 pounds on my home scale and the same day at the surgeon's office they insisted that I was 412!

They insisted their scale was right. Well, today I had my 3 month post-op appointment and I brought my digital scale from home.

My scale said I was 360. Their scale said I was 360. Then they told me they recently had their scales calibrated because they were inaccurate.

HA! I WAS RIGHT! I AM VINDICATED!!!!

I just wanted to post this and vent.

Thanks.

:P

My surgeon scale is always higher. I weigh myself at home in the morning without clothes. Your weight will fluctuate throughout the day. I don't care if it's more, just that I'm losing.

      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!
