Yea!!! Good deal! My Pre-op is the 16th, ENG on 17th, surgery on 18th. My doctor's office was great about getting all my appts back to back and has made hotel arrangements for me for the nights of Pre-op, since I live so far away. So far, I have been very impressed with the people working with me, which is reassuring, since I am nervous as a cat's back!

congrats on being sleeved 7/18/2012

it will be a day you will always remember.

this is a long wonderful journey - never ending - but follow the yellow brick road and things will be great.

you will be healthier, and happier - and the added bonus of losing weight isn't such a bad thing either ;)

best of luck

good recovery

I am having my sleeve on July 13th. I am so nervous but there's no going back now. I just want to get through this without complications. I want so badly to be a healthy weight. This has eluded me my whole life. Yo-yo'ing up and down for decades. I'm at my max now. Can I really be down 20 pounds by this time next month?

      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?
