Thank you for your kind words... I post this success story bc I too had doubts, worries and needed some guidance. This forum has given me support and I just want to give back for some thinking about this journey or who are struggling on this journey. I would choose to do this surgery in a heartbeat if you asked me would I do it again. My husband and I both did it and he has lost over 70lbs and has reached goal.

Thank you for your post and the inspiration. Your story shows exactly what can be achieved if you put your mind to it. Do you mind me asking what your diet has been like? Do you ever have take out or eat candy or deserts? And did you have to join a gym or work out regularly? I am a month out and would love to look like you in 3 months if I can. So any tips and tricks would be most appreciated....

Hey yummy mummy... I eat everything now, except for sugar, and my body hates a lot of fried food. I do eat baked salmon, baked tilapia, chicken (fried, baked, grilled) just very small amounts. I don't indulge in any deserts however I might have a piece a chocolate every once in awhile.

I do exercise 6-7 days a week for at least 30-45 minutes. Sometimes two a days. I jog on treadmill at home,, go to the gym and use elliptical or bicycle.

But at 1 month out I walked on the treadmill for at least 30 minutes and did 2 miles a day. I gradually worked myself up to a jog after my body said it was ok. Listen to your body and if you don't have a treadmill start walking outside on a trail or in the park.

I went from a size tight16- loose 6... I'm here to help in any way

Wow! How inspiring. Sounds like both of us started at the same weight. I'm 4 weeks out and down 22 lbs. Having problems eating and drinking enough but I'm trying. Walking in treadmill starts this week. I just get so lightheaded. Otherwise I feel great. Fitting into clothes from last year.

Did you have any intake problems one month out?

You look amazing. This was awesome! Thanks for you post. My stats are pretty much identical to yours. My surgery is two weeks away. I'd just like to ask when you were cleared for full exercise? And how did you feel physically when you started abdominal exercises or whatever? I don't want to break anything, bust any stitches, lol.

      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?
