You guys will do GREAT! Ernesto is quiet; however, if you talk to him, he will talk to you -- ask him any questions -- he had the sleeve done 10 weeks ago and has lost 50 lbs. He has his before pics in the glove box.

You will LOVE Lucy she is like a gattlin gun - she moves you in and out of each phase like a whirlwind. The gal who took my blood did a super job, you can't even see where she took it from - and that's unusual for me.

The anesthesiologist is great, informative, and very easy on the eyes.

EVERYONE is superb and puts you at ease ... then you're off to the resort which is gorgeous and everyone there is incredibly nice and helpful.

Don't forget to take the antibiotic and sleeping pill they give you the night before!

The next morning everything runs like clockwork and you'll be back in your room before you know it ... and you will absolultey LOVE Dr. Aceves ... he is a truly warm and compassionate man.

I can't say enough good things about the entire experience, considering it was major surgery ... tell everyone Susan from Las Vegas said HELLO ... if you have Francisco as a nurse, he's great too.

TRUST ME, YOU WILL BE FINE -- LOOK AT THE PICTURE NEXT TO THE scale BEFORE YOU ENTER THE AREA WHERE YOUR ROOM IS -- IT SAYS IT ALL ... JESUS WITH HIS HAND ON THE SURGEON'S HAND ...

KEEP US POSTED

(and if you like to use kleenex, bring some, they don't have any at the hospital)

      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.
