Hang in there Caliblonde, sending positive thoughts your way. I start my liquid diet tomorrow. You have already lost 32 lbs pre op? That is awesome! Thanks Lynda for the clarification. I am going to have to whip me up a batch of that broth.< /p>

Thanks Holly! Good luck with your liquid diet, don't forget to get in your fluids in addition to your "meals". That's been a struggle for me and I think I'm slightly dehydrated because I keep forgetting to drink.

I got my sleeve yesterday with Dr. Aceves in Mexicali. Everything has gone well and it isn't neatly as painful as I thought it would be. I got my iv out today. Drain will come out tomorrow and I'll be flying home on Friday.

Alright guys, I'm heading in tomorrow to do mine. I'm starting out at a rather hefty 60+ BMI, so I've got a long way to go.

Hey May vsgers! Had my surgery yesterday and just got back from the hospital. Everything went well. I'm just fighting nausea occasionaly and am having to force myself to get the Isopure down. Overall I think that I am doing well. Hope all is alright with those of you who had surgeries in the last few days.

I'm home from my may 17 surgery. So far so good! I've posted a couple of topics about my recovery in the "Tell Your Story" section.

Healing thoughts to fellow May sleevers who are already on the losers bench and best wishes for speedy recoveries to those who have not yet had their surgeries!!

      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?
