I am currently just beginning. Wednesday will be my last weigh in for my six month supervised diet. All of my documentation is in, just waiting for the real work to begin. I'm a little frightened but waiting for the new life. I have never been thin that I can remember outside of pics of me as a little girl. I am the only obese person in family. Everyone is petite. I have been dealing with arthritis for years but recently learned I have it in my foot. I have tried several diets to no avail and am tired. I often get she is so pretty but so fat. I want to be able to run, something I haven't done since I was a child. I will be turning 35 and have a fear of turning 35 and being unhealthy another; year. Looking for support from people who are like me. I stumbled on this site, nothing is accidential in life.

Welcome to the site! You'll find tons of info on here, so just read read read. I'll turn 50 this month, and wish this surgery had been available when I was your age. You're very lucky to be able to start on a healthier life at such a young age. I have no doubt you'll be able to run and do anything else you've been dreaming about. The sleeve is amazing! Good luck!

Welcome to the site and your new journey. I am going to warn you...this site is soooo Addictive! I was excited when I decided to have my surgery but after reading the great and many success stories here I am on pin and needles waiting for mine in a month. I can't wait to be among these great people that have already begun their battle and had such great success and continue to be an inspiration to us.

      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?
