I live in Beaver, PA. About 30 min from Pittsburgh. Was banded on 5/15. Lost 20 lbs so far and have first fill next week. Ready for that fill indeed!! We just moved here from NY 3 months ago but I think we're on opposite sides of the state. LOL!

I used to live in Levittown, PA right up the street from you. But I am back in California now... hope you are doing well. I had my surgery at Jeanes Hospital in Philly Dr Kowalski who is no longer there but practicing in Kansas.

Sometime in the next couple months I'll have it. Dr.Ceppa at The Reading Hospital will do it. I'm hard pressed to find someone else who had him as their surgeon :(

      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?
