I decided to go with Centennial because their self pay prices were a bit cheaper than Baptist's. A few grand here and there makes a big difference!

because I have to save up and pay I have to wait until December to have surgery. But I'm still so excited my dream is in sight and I can barely contain myself. I try not to talk to much about the surgery because i don't want my fellow coworkers getting sick of listening to me but i feel like I could burst with excitement.

HAHA right! my coworkers are probably sick of me talking about it. every morning i do a round of updated info ... almost....every morning. i am trying to save up as well. i have my surgery scheduled for the 30th of december but they require i pay half up front so i already told some family memebers to just help chip in for X-mas ;) everyday i just want it to be surgery day i just want it to happen this site is the only thing keeping me sane :D

. Jenny I had to move my surgery up so I ended up having my surgery the 4th of November. I actually had a good experience and the only struggle I had was the two weeks of full liquid you start to get bored with the same stuff over and over again. But enough with me good luck with your surgery and what a great way to start out the new year.

So what the story with the Protein you ladies have been talking about. ??

The dietians and Doctors recommend you start drinking Protein shakes before you have your surgery and after. There are so many different tastes and brands it's best to try out a few before your surgery so you have an idea of what you like later. Unfortately after your surgery your taste buds will change and what you liked before might make you sick after the surgery.

Wow really? Oh my that could suck. I have the lap band and having a revision done. Is there a huge difference between the before and after? Just asking because I have a few shakes I really like.

      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?
