Hi All!

Its been too long since I popped into this site and I just wanted to say I am still really thrilled with my surgery. It has changed my life in so many ways. First of all I am down nearly 80lbs since May 10th of this year, I guess about 4 1/2 months. I feel amazing, my energy is through the roof and I am having fun for the first time in a long time. I don't regret this decision for one second and I find something new to be excited about all the time. I recently started back to school, working towards my Registered Nurse, and we bought a house. I also recently went on a religious retreat and accepted God as my Lord and Savior. So, its been a big year for me and I am so looking forward to all the new things that are bound to come my way as I continue on my weight-loss journey.

I wish everyone on and connected to this site the very best that God's love has to offer and I pray for continued health and healing as well.

Take care!

Karen

Here are a couple recent pictures. My husband kept telling me "your butt is disappearing!" and I didn't believe him until he took these! Lol

How wonderful to "meet" you as a fellow sisiter in the Lord, and an RN. I have just started my journey as my surg date is 10-13-11, so your success is a true inspiration! I started my relationship with Christ over 30 yrs ago, and it truely has been the most wonderful joy I could imagine this side of eternity!

      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!

        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.
