Today I am 17 months post op and I'm still lovin my sleeve.

I am 8 months in maintenance and bounce any where from 144-148. Today I'm 145.3. I could NEVER do this on my own. I would ALWAYS gain it back and then some.

I no longer "diet" or "starve"...I say it over and over IT'S A MIRACLE!!!!!

2010-2011 was the year of weight loss.

2012 will be the year of exercise...Lord willing!!!

Thanks to all of you who have inspired and continue to support me through my journey, could not have done it without you!

Love and happiness to all!!!

P.s. I've attached some before and after pictures, I really don't like looking at the before because they make me so sad, but hope to inspire someone out there!

Wow!! Congratulations. You look great and I have a feeling that you must feel even better. Reading your post really encourages me and reminds me that success in the area of weight loss really is possible. I know in my head that it's possible (certainly with VSG). It's so inspiring to read first hand experiences! I hope to be sleeved toward the end of May. Can't wait to be on the other side of this journey. Thank you so much for posting!!

      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?
