Way to go TFTF! Good for you! There is no way to describe how the journey effects you to someone who has never went down this path. It is profound indeed.

Happy Holidays!!

Big huge congrats Fish - I'm so happy for you! Being able to see such a huge sign of how well you're doing is incentive enough to keep on doing what you're doing!

Hope you guys have continued success now, over Christmas, and of course, in the new year!!

Hey TOO, I can totally relate. This time of year is what I live for. Hunting....winter steelhead....ice fishing. I am currently 3X and will be banded on 12/15 so you are down to where I am starting from, but this time next year we will both be fleet afoot.

"Real cowboys sit in the middle so they done have to drive, and they don't have to open the gate"

Take care.....D.

      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!
