Recommended Posts

Here are my stats...

Name: Snarky Brewster

Age: 28

Banded on Sept. 20, 2011

Height: 5'8"

Starting Weight: 259.7

Current Weight: 226.4

Other fun facts: I skate roller derby and am generally very active. Happily married to an awesome musician. I have two beagle rescues, love vintage clothes, fashion and music. I live in Northern VA and would love another workout buddy, band veteran with a rockin' attitude who could share advice, another newbie to gossip with about the strange post-op world or any combo of the three!

Where in NoVA are you located and who's your surgeon? I live in Loudoun county and will have my band installed by the surgeons at Blue Point Surgical Group out of NoVA Fairfax (Dr. Halmi). I hope to get banded the week prior to Christmas 2011, but that depends upon insurance and whether they approve me or not. Stats:

  • 45 y/o female, not married (divorced), no kids
  • work as defense contractor (boring, huh?)
  • enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking w/my dog, mtn biking, skiing w/friends
  • also enjoy entertaining but that will likely change in my post-op life
  • am a foodie, but must change some of those habits to be successful post-op
  • plan to workout at 5am in my post-op life at Golds Gym in Sterling/Cascades
  • am not too big a music buff nor a movie buff, but I appreciate those who have the talent
  • I'm a dedicated Christ-follower (if that's not your thing, I understand)
  • have a great dog named 'Clyde', he's a rescued labrador retriever and we're now trained as a therapy dog team

That's about sums it up. Lemme know if you'd like buddy-up.

      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?

        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.
