Hi everyone! Im soo excited to find this forum. Im 30 yrs old, navy wife and mom to two beautiful boys ages 2 1/2 and 4. Im doing this for myself but for my boys too...they deserve to have a healthy mom thats going to be able to keep up with them. I have Tricare prime and this Thursday will be the end of my 6 month supervised dietary program. Im hoping there are no complications with the authorization since 4/1/13 will be the new transition to UHC for military. I'd hate to do this all again. I will be submitting to tricare at the beginning of the year so please keep your fingers crossed. Currently I am 285lbs and 5'8".

      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?
