Had Surgery on 12-18-09 and I can't Believe....



Recommended Posts

OMG I had surgery this month on 12-18-09 and have lost 40 pounds. I 'm so happy I have always been than overweight kid and I just want to live normally and not let this weight hold me back. I know I have a long way to go and I still do crave those fatty foods but getting on that scale makes it so much worth not eating them. I get my first fill on 01/18/10 come on all lets push thru to a happier healthier life.

Love You All.

Jon:rolleyes:

Congrats!!

I know you don't mean 40 pounds since getting the band 12 days ago. Remember, the band is not losing the weight. YOU are working hard and the band is just there to help a little.

Keep it up!!

Thanks for the support all everything is still going well on my end. I have my first fill on Monday the 18th. Having the band is a real change my doctor put a lil Fluid in my band when I had the surgery and what I use to be able to eat I no longer can. You know I really don't miss it. I join the gym at my job and I work out now 5 times a week. I will keep you all posted on everything that's going on I will be weighing in again on the 18th again also. Good Luck on your journey.

      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?
