So tired of this and fed up.

I’m back at the ER with chest pain, nausea, etc and severe headache.

My blood pressure is sky high again...169/118. I’m on multiple hyper tensives and keep having these hypertensive crisis.

I know it’s my body screaming for help. I just hope I haven’t delayed or put off working toward WLS for too long.

I’ve considered it for over a year and in that year I’ve gained nearly 50 pounds.

It’s time for change and it’s time for change now...I’m so scared of dying early like my mom.

I woke up one morning and knew I had to get this surgery too. Nothing else would work. I couldn't begin that diet again and then regain the pounds and the extra's that come with it. I am so glad I did it. You will be too

I can’t keep slowly killing myself. My PCP just last month told me I’m on more meds and see more specialists than most 70 years olds she sees, just to keep me barely alive...my mom died at 48 due to a massive heart attack weighing nearly 400 pounds...that’s my fate if I don’t change

      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.

      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!
