Amazed with my results so far!



Recommended Posts

Mike can I ask you if you’ve had an issue with excess skin? I’m 360 and 6’5” as well. It’s my biggest concern and I’m a few days from surgery.

Your story encourages me to get the surgery even more! Are you happy you had the sleeve vs bypass?




I am very happy I chose the sleeve over the bypass. All of the health issues I had are gone. This was the best choice I've made in my life in terms of in both improving my health and improving how I look. I'll admit I started to get cold feet at one point about 2 months into my pre-op plan about going ahead with surgery since I had already started losing weight. Someone said to me, "What makes you think this time is going to be any different than all the other times you tried?" That stuck with me and helped me realize I needed this surgery as a tool to help me be healthy. Good luck with your decision.

      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!
