This is my first post, and I just wanted to thank you all. All of your posts helped me through every step, two years ago I was a very unhappy seventeen year old, in a horrible relationship that I was scared to leave because I thought no one else would want someone like me, I weighed 110 kilos (242 pounds) and had incredibly low self esteem, but now, thanks to all of your support and my lap band i've lost 52 kilos (114 pounds) and now weigh 58kg (127 pounds), and I have found that its not that people don't look at me anymore, they just don't curl their lip in disgust when they do. I'm now in a happy relationship with a wonderful man and I have my health :) there are so many things for me to look forward to.

LOVE this. The best thing you could have done for yourself besides get your health back is to be in a healthy relationship. I've been in a bad one before and it just doesn't compare to the one I'm in now, I'm sure you feel the same way :)

      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?
