You are likely not doing anything wrong. You haven't put your stats on your profile: height, surgery day weight - these are helpful to other members to give an appropriate response.

So how tall are you and what did you weigh on surgery day?

I am 4ft 11,I weighed 14st 3 on surgery day 😊

For your start weight I think 9lb is great, you had a lowish start weight and your losses are not going be as high as people who weigh a lot more.

weight loss from revisions is usually not nearly as fast as it is with virgin surgeries. Also, if your BMI is comparatively low, that would mean a slower weight loss rate, too.

also, if you haven't lost in a week, you may be in a stall. Most people have their first stall during the first 4-6 weeks after surgery.

all that said, as long as your weight is gradually going down (even if you stall now and then, which you will...), you're good.

      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!
