I am having surgery at NYU with Dr. Ren on June 24th.

Hi, great Dr Ren is doing mine also :) she did a Lap band on my sister few years ago and of course my sister wants to get the sleeve now. Do you live local I'm on LI ? Nice to know we are in the same boat :)

I live in Brooklyn. I'm anxious right now because I still don't have final insurance approval. I was referred to Dr Ren by a friend that works at NYU. She was really nice when I met her in the consultation and answered all my questions. It's good to hear your sister had a good experience. Have you been to the support group at NYU? I haven't been able to yet.

That's great Congrats!! It's official on our way to thinness! No I haven't been to the support group either I guess if i need it I will use it after surgery.

If you don't mind me asking do you have an amount of weight you want to lose? I want to lose about 130lbs if possible that would be my dream:)

Me too! I need to lose exactly 130 lbs to be a "normal" BMI. It's amazing to think I could lose that much but I think this surgery may be just the tool I need.

Your surgery is on Monday? How are you doing?

Oops. I have been reading too many threads. Don't know why I thought you were on Monday.

      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.
