Hello my name is Dee. I’ve trolled on here (in a good way) to get, what I’ve found to be some very useful information. I’ve started my journey in November with my first appointment weighing in at 358 (I’m 5’8”) My second appointment was 12/21/17 and I lost 4lbs. Third appointment I just had 1/30 and I was down another 2lbs. My last and final appointment is 2/13 then after that off to the insurance company (Aetna) to be approved. I’ve fluctuated so much with my weight. I’m super excited that I’ve FINALLY made this decision and so is my husband, whom by the way had his sleeve done in September and he’s down 94lbs and looks amazing! We support each other and that’s what matters but I also would love the outside positive influences from you guys :) I look forward to sharing this experience.

Welcome. Your husband has done great - those are impressive numbers for such a short period of time. You are on your way. So. I'm guessing your surgery will be late March or early April once approved? How are you feeling about it? It's great to have a supportive spouse. My husband has been with me 100%. It means a lot.

Yea I’m guessing late March which is fine with me. I’m feeling great about it, trying not to be jealous of my husbands success lol because as you may know men loose weight differently than we do and that’s ok. I’m in this for my own success [emoji4]

I’m located in Central New Jersey and will be having my surgery at Overlook Hospital hopefully the end of March. I haven’t received my date yet but I’m excited. Not nervous. I was nervous for Hubby tough of course, but his surgery went smoothly. He had his done out in NewYork by a different surgeon and that was only because of his insurance. So I’m anxious to start eating the same as him and joining his workout regimen

      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!
