Hi! from an excited noob



Recommended Posts

:party:I just got confirmation that my financing was approved and i am so excited!! But since this is something i don't want anyone i know to know about, i don't have anyone to share the excitement with.

I've read so much online and everyone seems so pleased with the results that i just cant wait to see a healthier me in the mirror. There are so many health problems in my family history and now that i am a few months short of being 40, it really scares me. I see my grandparents and now my mom too taking so many medications, its like a pharmacy in their bathrooms, i do not want that to be my future. I need to get my weight to a healthy amount so that i can do other things to improve my health. Its so frustrating to be out of breath from walking a distance that is not even equal to being one block.

Well, i am truly excited about this. I look forward to a healthier me.:)

      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!
