It could have to do with the time of day you are being weighed. You may not find one that is exactly with your doctor's scale. If you weigh yourself at the same time ( I do mornings) then your scale will accurately show your loss.

Did he weigh you on HIS scale the morning of your surgery? Probably not, you were at the hospital, but you probably did at home. Don't worry about the differences you are seeing, but if it REALLY bothers you, then the next time you go to him, as soon as you leave, go to the store and buy several scales and weigh when you get home. Don't use the bathroom and see which one gets you closest to the doctor's scale. Then, return the others. To me, though, I just wouldn't worry about it. You know you are doing well, and that is all that matters.:cursing:

I don't count what the doctors scale says - only mine at home because by the time I see the doctor, I've already had a meal or 2 plus I'm fully clothed.

      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!
