Tough Texan/scared to death



Recommended Posts

For those of you scared half to death your gonna croak on the table all I can say is we almost all go thru that. Most won't say it but it's true. The chances of you dying from this surgery are almost zero. the chance of you dying in a car wreck on the way is what should have you worried. Lol. Your worry is normal.

Time to stop in and give an update. Been about a month since I posted and weight loss has slowed. I'm actually glad because at the rate I was losing it was concerning me. I'm now at 192!!!!. If someone had told me 4 months ago that before the end of the year I would weigh in the 180's I would have laughed. I should be there before Xmas. I have my life back and I am so grateful for this surgery and dr. Kim. Best 12 grand I ever spent.

You're so inspiring. Congrats on the weight loss. I am considering surgery and am scared to death of it. SO hopefully soon, I can join the journey.

Hey Tex - It sounds like Dr Kim changed your life....literally. I wish I had seen this thread prior to my surgery (Dr Kim on Oct 31)...you're a great inspiration. And I hope to be joining you in onederland real soon. Congrats on your success.

      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?
