I broke a doctors table. You know those super sturdy metal based tables they have you sit on during an exam? Broke. I'm looking forward to never having to worry about breaking things I sit on.

My first post...

I am a far way from surgery (I'm in month 2 pre-application), but I am looking forward to fitting. LOL Simply always being able to fit into seats. Be it an airplane, the back seat of a car with a group of people, as mentioned above restaurant booths, office chairs, school style desk/chair combos, the list is endless...

Oh, people turning sideways when passing you in a hall (can't wait for that to stop). LOL.

We should post a before and after pic of our hands with the rings.

@violetisle I love vintage as well. I have a ton of sewing patterns from the 40's, unfortunately I have no waist. But hopefully by next year that can be remedied. AND my square dance outfits will look way better.

I want to be able to hike in the mtns easily and fit in booths as well.

Clothing for sure I'm waiting for insurance approval and refuse to buy any new clothes until then, I also have alot of clothes I will fit into once I loose the weight.

I'm looking forward to not feeling like I need to dull down my personality and who I am so I don't draw more attention to my being overweight! It'll also be nice to not dress like it's winter during summer!

      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!
