Ready to get serious



Recommended Posts

Hello My New Support Team,

I am a 44 (45 in days) year old first time mommy ready to get serious about her weight. I am 5'7" and last time I weighted around 240. I am sure it is more by now. I have got to do the six months I am sure before my insurance will cover it. But the good news is my hubby is supportive (just recently) and even chatting about having it done himself. I just want this site to be extra support for me and keep me focused of the main goal.......this is to loss weight and be there for the daughter (6 months) that we are in the process of adopting. Looking forward to posting as I go on this journey.:)

Hello and welcome to LBT! That is great to hear that your husband is so supportive of you and your surgery.... That will make your journey that much easier. That is wonderful to hear about the 6 month old baby girl I wish you lots of luck with all that is to come.

You picked a great site for support, questions and answers! The middle of July will be about a year that I started on my journey to try and get this done. My appointment for surgery was made in April, and I thought July would never get here. But......here it is the end of June, and I start my 2 week all liquids on July 10.

Anyway I'm so thankful for having found this site. I love just logging in, there seem to be soo many people who have the same fears,qustions,concerns about everything that I do.:)

      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!
