9 1/2 month and 184 lbs gone forever...



Recommended Posts

May 17th of last year was the day I started my new life after having surgery with doctor Alvarez down in Mexico.. The only thing I'm upset about this whole process is that I did not do this sooner. These past 9 months have been more of a wild ride then I had a ever imagined. If I had it to do all over again I would change nothing and go to the same process without hesitation. the day of my surgery I weighed 420 pounds as of this morning I weighed 236 not even 10 months later. At age 37 I felt as if I was 70 putting on 20 to 30 pounds a year you just do not realize how bad you feel now I feel as if I am 20. The stuff that I can do now that I could not do just 9 short months ago absolutely blows my mind I feel amazing. if you were still on the fence on whether you should have this done or not take it from me absolutely go for it I spent 3 years contemplating and finally pulled the trigger after all the research I pick the perfect doctor had an absolutely pain free experience and most of all I felt safe the whole time. I cannot say enough about how this surgery has changed life for me I wish everything was this simple.

      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?
