New guy, banded 11/20/09. 22 Down 120 to go.



Recommended Posts

Ok,

My high was 4 months ago. I went to the consultation thinking I was around 395, found out I was 441, could have been a negative but just it motivated me to move forward. Surgery weight was 422, and I currently weigh 395-401. (weighed today at 395, but the scale didnt go that high so it could be inaccurate as it went past 0 to 95)

Just wanted to post to create accountability and meet some other's in similar situations. I am 6'6'' ex college football player, played between 350-375. My initial goal weight is 275 then I will reasses the situation. I havent been below 300 since I was 10! cant wait to get back in the two's

Any insight or input is helpful and welcome

      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.
