I just heard from my surgeon's office yesterday. My first consult is in a week and a half!

Cute. I'm 6' tall and 35 yo. I do a lot of exercise. I lost over 75 Lbs. In 4 months, no hanging skin.

That's great to hear, glad everything is going well. When could you start exercising?

I'm right in the same world as you. I started out at 320 (I'm 6'2") and am 38 years old. I went on a diet and at my first appointment I was 305. I have had 3 weigh ins (3 left, next is in two weeks), and completed everything except the cardiology consult.

Good luck with your journey. It is a lot of work (the hoops they make us jump through), but I do see the end, and you will too.

Awesome, let's keep in touch with our journeys. I am looking to do surgery in Dec 2017 just because I have a school break then. I'm a school teacher in central NY.

      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!
