My surgery date is 12-19-13, I am so ready to rock this band. I started my journey on 7-23 weighing 265 lbs, as of 11-4 at my last apt before surgery I weighed in at 221lbs that's 45lbs I have lost in 15 weeks. My goal is 150 by my birthday on 6-10-14, so I have 70 lbs to loose yet. If I reach my goal I'm going to rock a bakini for the first time in my life. I'm so ready to release the hot momma that has been hiding my entire life!

My date is 12-5. I'm nervous and excited as well. I start my preop diet (sugar busters) on 11/21. I started this process at 280, now at 265. Can't wait til this time next year to see how far we've come.

Hi kelmat! I am scheduled to get my band on 12-18-13. Sometimes I think I may be crazy to do this one week before Christmas. But, my insurance is changing so I need to get it in before the end of the year. Also, there will always be some reason not to do it. I too, am very nervous. I've never had any type of surgery before. I would definitely like to have some friends who know what I am going through.

      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.
