I'm so relieved to know I'm not the only one with the same fear and anxiety. I'm not at all scared about surgery but I'm terrified of failing. May 9 th is my big day. I'm struggling with the idea of this not a short term fix. This is truly long term and I have work to do.

I love seeing so many May banders! :)

I have 6 days to go! :)

I told my Dr. yesterday I was scared and excited at the same time. She said that it is pretty normal feeling. I think we all have dieted so many times and failed that we have it some where in the back of our head that we just will never win. But none of us have had this great tool to help us before. :) And I love to let you all know that We our all winners because we have choose to try again and this time we will succeed. Also I don't think I have ever had so many buddies to help me thru it as I have now with all of you!

      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!

        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.
