This is a decision only you can make. Make a list of pros and cons, and do your research.

This IS a decision only you can make and it is a lifestyle change you have to be committed to. I will say that it took me almost 10 years to finally do it and I wish now that I had done it 10 years ago! I don't regret it for one second! You're going to run into people-friends, family, co-workers-who all have an opinion on the surgery, weight loss, diet, exercise and everything else under the sun,but they are just that-opinions, and EVERYONE had one. The best I advice I ever got was from my dad...everyone is going to give you unwanted advice, ignore it all. This is your body, your life and you can do with it what you will. Do your research, talk to folks who have had it and really evaluate your readiness to change your relationship with food. There are lots of great people on this site with great experience, find a reputable surgeon and nutritionist. Good luck!

Thank you for that. I am to be sleeved in July and I was worried if I was making the right decision. I feel much better about my choice with the sleeve. Thanks again! Very inspirational! Continue the great work!

      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.
