So am I!!!!! My surgery date was orginally set for july 28, but I am going to have to push it to Aug. I am in NJ. I am feeling overwhelmed with all the appointments needed before surgery. I know in the end its well worth it, but Jeez!!!! Its not easy working full time and having two kids. I was wondering if you ere feeling the same way?

It is overwhelming with all the appointments. I do think it will be worth the trouble to lose this weight that has been hanging around for way too long! Good luck to you

I am from Allentown! Who's your surgeon??? I don't have a date yet...I meet with my surgeon next Thursday, so I'm hoping to get a tentative date then. I'm hoping for mid-July-early August for my surgery so I have enough time to recover before school starts back up!

Hi, I am from Stroudsburg, hopefully getting banded in August by Dr. Boorse at Lehigh Valley Hospital. I have begun my journey and have committed myself to the process. The hardest part for me is going to be quitting smoking but I have the patch and a date set and I am gonna do it. If you want to chat email: peptalk1@aol.com.

Good luck

My surgeon is Dr. Boorse. I am hoping to have surgery in August because I am a teacher. I may have some problems getting insurance approval because my BMI in 2009 was only 34.5 and I have only been diabetic for about 1 year with a BMI of 36.7 now. Good luck to you too!

I will say a prayer for you tonight and tomorrow. As far as the surgery that was o.k. it was the anthesia (spelling) that made me so sick. Blessings

      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?
