Awesome!

Actually decided today to move my date to Nov 5 . Conflict with kids schedule at school. Didn't want to but it will work best with getting a babysitter since I'm traveling out of state for surgery.

I am getting banded 10/8/12. I am so excited. Scared but excited. Is anyone having difficulty with the pre-op diet. This is my 3rd day. The first 2 days were hard. But, I am doing better today.

Which preop are you doing? My surgeon requires 2 weeks of strictly Optifast. It's been ok but I'm really hungry right now. I've been blogging my adventures with the whole process and just uploaded a long one about my first day on the diet. http://thefatgirlthin.blogspot.com/

Hey there!!! That's my band day too!!! I started the liquid diet yesterday. The day time is okay but I did go to sleep hungry last night. Good luck to you and let's keep in touch.

      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.
