I'm a little confused. If I see this thread does that mean I'm a VIP member? Glad to be here.

I see VIP under your name. So you must be one....lol

We've been working on a new BP app which has better functionality and features (Tracking, video exercises, etc) It's coming along ok but taking a lot longer than I had hoped.

Check your credit card statement next month. Thank you for supporting such a worthy cause!

JK! :P :P :P

I provided VIP membership to members that have contributed to BP over the last year or so. It's the least I can do for all of you. If anyone wants a digital copy (Kindle, Nook or PDF) of any of my books, please just PM me and I'll be happy to provide them free of charge.

@@Alex Brecher Thanks! At first I wondered what that VIP was, and then I found this forum and thought it was a mistake. I seriously was going to check my credit card statement, thinking perhaps I signed up! Then I saw others also wondering, and thought it must be a "free trial"! So thank you for the exclusive access. I feel important :)

Thank you for this forum. I was one that was very active and left the boards due to the amount of negativity at certain times and unrealistic expectations of some. I came back because I am considering revision surgery due to gerd, hernia, and lack of weightloss post pregnancy. I am looking for others that have had revision surgery. I had my VSG done in Bogota, CB by an amazing team and had great follow up care. We are now back in the US and I will most likely have surgery with Dr. Halmi.

Nice to read and be included in this positive forum. Thank you positive posters!

After many years, I do understand some frustration with negative people or those that choose to not follow dr instructions..... Maybe some docs don't give out enough info and directions?

I got a 6 page handout in 2006, after outpatient banding w/ quick check up the following day,and I'll see you in 6 wks.

Anyway, glad to be here. Lots of good advice....and some yuks.

      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.
