I have just joined this board after lurking for several weeks. I am scheduled for surgery with Dr. Mumford on April 26th so just 2 weeks of Optifast left:).

I have been reading this board especially the canadian section and have found it to be great. I have enjoyed be able to go back through the 'oldtimers' posts to see their progress from surgery until now.

Just wanted to say hi and to say how much help this board has already been to me. I really like the support given and the light hearted attitude (not quite as serious and solomn as some of the other boards I have visited!).

Welcome to the board. I also lurked around here before I joined the banded work. This site helped me a ton and still does.

Optifast was the worst part of the banding process but I will say that I lost a lot of weight with that part of the program so it was really worth it. Plus it made the post op diet a walk in the park. :)

Good Luck with getting the band. :biggrin1:

      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?
