I hit my goal weight last year on my first trip to Vegas! It was my 50 bday and I was down to one pill from 8 a day. This year we went for my sister's bday about 2 weeks ago. And I am still within my 5 lb goal weight. We eat our way across vegas too! I just take my food back to the room if I can't eat it all. Also there is a big movement now among foodies for small and sharing! This has been great because that's how I roll! We can order 4 or 5 different things I can try them all and it doesn't get wasted or there not too much to lead me into temptation!

Hi! I really enjoy reading this stories. I've been having a horrible time with depression. I keep telling myself what the hell have I done. Am 37 4'10 and was 217 on the day of surgery 3/4/15. I had the lap band for 7 yrs but it failed. Pls tell me that things are gonna get better and am gonna b happy with the decision I made.

      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.
