Just having dinner also taking walks. The only thing that hurts is gas in upper abdomen. The posicle tastes awesome! Surgery was around 1pm today!

So far so good on this end. I am pretty drowsy though

Congrats to all of you!!!??

My band to sleeve revision was successful.

The band had not done (even after 10 years) too much damage nor scaring, thank god!! The surgery was only 2:30 hrs.

No pain so I did not have to take any pain meds till this morning. But the nausea was horrible. I actually had to vomit twice yesterday and I still feel sick.

But other than that I am fine.

We did it yeeeaaah!!!

Surgery was yesterday afternoon, all went well. I only needed 4 incisions, so that's good!

But last night was rough! Gas pain was horrible in my chest, and nausea was awful, threw up a lot.

Feeling a bit better this morning, thank God. Just did barium swallow test, so now trying to sip some liquids.

We did it! Now let's get to the good part! :-)

How has drinking gone for y'all?

I've got my little cups of liquid in front of me, but not enjoying it. I'm trying to take little sips, but it's still pretty uncomfortable.

Drinking has been a little rough. I have to remember to take small sips. Other than that and being sore I am well.

Yesterday I felt sick even from sipping Water. Today I already had two cups of chicken broth, one for lunch and one for dinner. That was like heaven after 3 weeks of sweet Protein Shakes. Only the liquid meds make me a bit sick.

      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?
