NSV Thread for the May Bandsters!



Recommended Posts

I'm not sure if this would be an NSV...it kind of bothered me when it happened. i went to pull my pants up at Wal-Mart and the next thing I knew, they were half-way up my back!! I no longer have that booty-butt blubber to keep them at bay. You know, that "wide gap" that goes on with the pant waistband...it's gone now!!

Today in church, sitting there with a dress on, no hose (yuke), I had my feet together on floor. During quiet prayer time, it dawned on me..."hey, my thighs are no longer the only thing touching...my calves actually touch along with them!!"

Another, I finally decided to buy a new pair of "hip" jeans...well, the 16misses were too big, the 14's fit just right!!!!

Had to go through my clothes for the SECOND time since surgery, getting rid of the ones that are too big.

A friend recently gave me a bunch of clothes that about 4 sizes smaller than when I started this process. HOORAY!

I went to see my therapist yesterday. The 1st thing she asked me was..."Does this hurt yet?" patting her own tailbone. I was delighted to tell her..."YES, esp sitting here on your (hard) sofa!" She then said, "that's why you see all us small ladies squirming in our chairs!"

oh another, went to (sorry) scratch my armpit...my hand went into this cavity...what the heck...never had one of those before in my armpit-LOL!!

Kiki- I feel your pain!!! I have gone from a 46DD, sometimes even a 44DDD to a 38D!! My poor boobies have deflated. I guess I knew that they never stood a chance, anytime I lose weight they are the first to go...I better start saving for some new ones!:teeth_smile:

I'm hanging in there, trying to KEEP off the pounds that I've lost. Been eating more over the past two weeks than before, so maybe time for another fill.

My husband drove my car this weekend and nearly crushed himself up against the steering wheel. He looked over at me and said, "Good grief. You've lost a lot of weight". He's 6'1" and I'm 5'3". I used to keep the seat as far back as he would sit just to accommodate my stomach. Now I'm up A LOT closer and he's just amazed.

Feels so good.

Now if the stinkin' scale would just budge!!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting 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?
