Ashley, as far as Unjury, my surgeon's office sells it, but otherwise I've only ever seen it for sale online! Isopure and Premier Protein I have seen in stores.

My surgery is tomorrow. I have to be at the surgery center at 11:30am. I'm feeling every type of emotion right now. Mostly fear. I was told not to bring much so I'm just bringing a bath rode, slippers, gas x strips, a small pillow (just in case they don't give me one, tooth brush and chap stick. I'm going to wear what I'm wearing to the hospital back home. I am so worried that I'm forgetting something. Does the no nail polish include toe nail polish? :)

What? No nail polish??? I don't think I was told that ( as I page through my pre-op folder)-- I was told no perfumes and lotions.

I was told no make up, nail polish, jewelry or perfume. I don't see how nail polish is going to harm anything. I can't put lotion on my feet so I really hope they are covered up during surgery toe nail polish can't hurt anything lol.

They like to see no polish so they can see the color of the nail beds

Im in your shoes' date=' Im 5-4" 249lbs, High blood pressure and plenty more problems that are because of being OVER weight and everyone even my other surgeon said YOU don't even look that "BIG" But what they don't realize is I have been dealing with my weight for 17yrs and I know and have accepted that "This is for me so I can live longer for my kids.. Its not that your being selfish your just thinking about your future as a healthier person for your kids.. Our weight is like a great pair of jeans that are very snug but when taken off every thing falls out, your just not putting that out there so people can see they only see that you wear your weight well.. So try and look at things in a very POSITIVE way.. Febuary 25th 2013 is the begining to OUR new lives.. I go in at 6:00 am.. So see you on the Losers Bench...[/quote']

Thanks for the pep talk!

They just told me no red nail polish. They prefer French manicure if we have anything but they have nothing in the pre op paperwork about no polish.

I am in the same boat. I'm 5"6 and weigh 205lbs. I come from a larger family and have battled with my weight all my life. This is a very personal choice that I am doing for myself. My surgery date is 2/28/13 and am waiting for someone to tell me the same thing. Don't feel that you need to explain yourself to anyone. I know in the end my knees' date=' back and heart will thank me and I am sure yours will too.

As a nurse myself , I understand the risks that come with this surgery but honestly we take risk everyday just getting out of bed. Im sure your friends are just concerned for you but only you know what's best for you and your family. I wish you the best!!

Thank you for the kind words and good luck!

      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?
