I have never participated in a support group because my surgery was 12 years ago. In fact, the pre-op was simply him drawing what was supposed to be a stomach on a manila folder, circled a small portion and said "this will be the size of your stomach...are you ok with this?" I am here for anybody who has questions, etc....I've lived it and I'm a success story.

Wow, you look it too! I just had my surgery May 21 and although I normally would'nt log on to something like this, I need all the support and help I can get to loose the weight and keep it off, and most importantly live a healthy lifestyle. I live in the San Diego area, my surgeon is Dr. Wittgrove. So far I've had a few set backs but feeling optemistic. :)

Not from San Diego, but wish I was! Love it out there! I'm from the frozen tundra: Wisconsin. I visited SD in January and it was about 72 the whole time I was there. I came back and we had the coldest week all year: a HIGH of 20 below zero!

I just moved here a year ago from Rochester, MN. I lived there 5 years and had enough of the frozen tundra and decided to move. I love it here but you pay high prices to live in this paradise.

The housing is crazy out there although the rest of your prices are right in line with what we pay in Wisconsin. My husband and I are thinking of moving but we're going to need help with moving expenses...crazy housing!

      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.
