Hello,

I'm new to this site. Everything I've been reading has been helpful and informative. I have a weigh in on Monday and I'm nervous. It determines if I can start my two week liquid diet. I've been eating right and replacing Protein shakes for Breakfast and sometimes lunch. 'Ive been trying my best but is became hard around the two major holidays. I was beating myself up really bad because I really need this surgery. I have a heart condition, that is rare, because they only find it in people in their 60s and up. If I'm not at 425, I think I might be on the brink of giving up. I have so much life to live and so much love to give, its not even funny. I have a wonderful support system and a marvelous boyfriend who supports me wholeheartedly. I dont know what I'm going to do if I'm not nowhere where I'm suppose to be.I don't know anyone personally that has gone through this, is there any advice that anyone can give me. Thank you in advance!

Hi I am new here too! Think positive thoughts for your weigh in. I know it is easier said than done but it sounds like you have been working hard to achieve your goal. The diet with Protein shakes as Meal Replacements is very challenging especially round this time of year. I am going through that this week as my pre-op and I know it is not easy. Sending positive vibes your way for a successful weigh-in. Here for you if you need to chat.

Your health problems worsen as you get older, like me and my husband. Life has been downhill but I am happy to say we have been sleeved and no more sitting around being depressed. Best of luck!!!!!

      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.
