My dad is doing remarkable. He has lost 55 lbs since his surgery on 7/17/13. I had a two month head start on him and have lost 47 pounds to date. He, however started off at a heavier weight than me. He was 360 at his highest and I was 300 at my highest. Also men seem to have this wonderful capability to just simply lose weight faster than us ladies. ;). I know that he is extremely happy with Dr Morales and I did attend his preop counseling with the dietitians and learned far more there than I did with the program that I had used.

I live in St.Louis, I'm having mine done at DePaul with Dr.Morales. I'm so excited to see so many St.Louisians on here. Congratulations and good luck to everyone. My insurance is making me await six months but if all goes well I will go in some time in Febuary/March. Is any one going to the support group at Depaul on 9/18

I'm scared that it won't work for me for some reason! Or that I won't be able to follow the rules.

      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.
