I got my surgery date today April 15! I bought all the stuff they wanted me to buy. Protein powders' date=' Vitamins, Protein Shots etc. It came to 328!! OMG I hope this will last me for awhile. I don't like paying so much but I will do whatever they want to have the surgery. I am so excited. I can't believe I am really doing this after thinking about this for so long. Good luck to all of the April sleevers.[/quote']

Good luck to you, too !

But that's OK I am just super excited that I am done with all pre-certs! :) On the other hand I am a little nervous. There is no turning back now....this is the start of my new life! :D

Because that's when it was, they moved it up due to a severe hernia. And that's just fine by me. ;-). And I don't know how to change it... LOL

I got my date today APRIL 17 .

Of course I am nervous but I have to do this for myself.

My husband is supportative but today he said if it were him he would not do it.

He does not want to tell me it is a good thing in case I complain later and blame him for any problems.

Lets do this all together and make friends throough this new journey. I have never like to travel alone.

I don't have a husband or a boyfriend, and I usually like to travel alone but this time I need people. I'm lucky that I have the support of most of my friends and family, but I'm a little heartbroken that my mom wants nothing to do with it. I asked her if she'd be here for my surgery (she lives 90 minutes away) and she said, "Oh, that's a Wednesday? I probably have to work that day." SHE WORKS FOR MY BROTHER IN LAW, who would be MORE than willing to give her time off to come and be with me. Ugh.

Well, my mom is encouraging me but is 85 so she can not come.

I have not told any friends because of all the questions.

I am planning to tell my children on Easter sunday when they are both in my hometown.

I am in Louisiana and doing this as private pay. I am 63 years old and weigh 234 pounds and am 5 fee tall.

      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.
