Congrats to you BethAnn. I pray it goes good for you. I feel the same way. I have been trying this low cal diet for a couple of weeks and haven't done so hot so I'm really scared about how I will do once I have surgery. I hope it will be easier :(

Been all over this app trying to figure it out. A lot of stuff to know. I'm totally new here. I'm due to have gastric bypass April 8th..the Monday after Spring Break uggh Anyway, could've had it mths ago but weather and scheduling conflicted with all the pre-op stuff. I currently live in WV and will be moving at end of May to Fayetteville NC. I am 42, married, and have two children. Last pcp appt had me at 301 abt 2wks ago.

Good luck in Fayetteville.... I hated that place. Our home was broken into several times along with all or neighbors.

Hi I am from fayetteville NC

Your from Fayetteville or just ended up there because of the military? I dreaded every moment I was there. My husband was stationed at ft. Bragg for a few years and I refused to live there because I never felt safe. I stayed in Texas until he got out of the army. I would visit for two months per year and the other times he was either deployed or would visit me.

What is so wrong with Fayetteville everyone keeps saying? My husband is already living there on a new job outside Ft Bragg. He is a veteran and we visit Bragg often.

I'm totally nervous about surgery. I feel like I'm about to take a big test and I haven't studied. Weird. My husband had the totally open version of the surgery many yrs ago when it first came out.

The countryside was nice, but I didn't get out there often. In Fayetteville, houses are broken into during the day when they know soldiers are at pt in the mornings. Just compared to where I've grown up, that place seemed so dangerous with peoples fighting pittbulls loose sometimes in the neighborhoods. I would notleave the house without a concealed weapon.

Have you already have a doctor when you move to Fayetteville I have live in Fayetteville all of my life it is not a bad place to live. It would be nice to know someone from Fayetteville to chat with good lucky with your surgery and with your move to NC.

      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.
