I had VSG 04/08, and I have only lost 55 pounds total, including what I lost before surgery.

I exercise every day!

Anyone else having this problem?
Any ideas on how to help?

The doctor explained that I would lose weight like the "stairs", instead of the "slide". It's not going to be smooth sailing all the way down. Our body will lose the weight but we must give it chance to regroup and refit our skins.

My surgery was in Feb 2019. My slowest progress so far was on my 3rd month (May). Once June came around, my progress increased again.

Good job exercising everyday.

Congratulations on losing 55 lbs. I recently lifted a 10 pound potato sack and it was "HEAVY"... So 55 is a lot! Awesome job!

Hang in there friend. We'll be skinny someday....soooon!

Thank you!

I am trying really hard! I know, I felt so silly saying "only 55 pounds" !

Thank you!

And good luck on your journey!

so you just had surgery in April? If so, at 55 lbs, you're ahead of where I was at that point.

Oh, maybe I am just paranoid then... I just feel like I am waaaaaaaay below average for post op weight loss.

I had surgery 2/25 and have lost 63 and I feel that's pretty good. I've only lost 5 pounds since June 1st.

I would say you're doing great!

      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!
