Okay girls and boys my surgery date is July 17th. I am excited and a little scared but I know this is a good thing. I have HBP on medication, high cholesterol and should be on meds, arthritis in both knees and have strong family history of diabetes. Starting weight was 209lbs. I have been on pre op liquid diet since July 1st and now weigh 202 according to my morning weigh on my scales in my birthday suit. Pre op diet has not been hard until tonight when I cheated an had a small bite of Arby's roast beef and licked the horseradish packet.

Would like to have a few July sleevers to keep up with each other and share the good and the bad.

My surgeon is in Conway,SC. Dr. Morris Washington and he is great. I actually am a Registered Nurse and work in the OR with Dr. Washington so I get to see 1st hand what he does in the OR and how he treats his patients. He is very passionate about his work and his patients.

      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!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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.
