It's hard to believe the day is nearly here. I've been waiting since just before Thanksgiving! 18 hours from now they wheel me in! Bon chance, everyone!

I have to be at the hospital in 14 hours from now. I'm so ready. I'm hoping for a speedy procedure and a speedy bounce back. My doc says he'll take great care of me. Good luck to everyone.

Almost ready to head out to the hospital. I have everything I need. Can't believe how slowly and yet how quickly this day has come! I really can't believe it's here. I feel really calm and happy. Best of luck to all the 8/17 sleevers!

Still feeling really good but my heart rate is up so that has me a little worried. My hubby & the kids just left and now I am going to try and get a nap in before my next walk. I'll will post again in the morning ????

      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?
