I'm getting the camra through my gastric track (I think that's what it's called) this Thursday to make sure I'm good to go.

I'm nervous somwthing will be wrong and I cant get sleeved. I expressed to a friend about my fear and she said maybe it'll be a sign to loose weight differently. I'm pissed about it but mainly lost as to what if I can't sleeve. What will I do then. Help!

You are putting the cart before the horse. It is not time to worry yet. The odds are on your side. I am sure everything will be fine. Try to concentrate on other things for now. Good luck!

I had an amazingly great experience in Mexico. Great surgeon, great medical staff...cannot say enough good things about it. Met many who would say the same thing. $4500 for the entire experience, minus cost of airfare. All included: hotel stay, hospital stay, surgery, meds, transportation.

It's been two weeks since surgery and I'm feeling great. Going to my doctor tomorrow to get a referral to a dietician to help ensure my success.

I had the same thing prior to surgery ( sleeved 8/20/14). It is to make sure you don't have obstructions or ulcers or hernias that would complicate your surgery. I ended up having a hernia. They still operated on me fixing the hernia at the same time. Be comfortable that your doctor is taking the extra steps to keep you healthy. Good 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?
