:rolleyes: Surgery date is September 14th.

Let me just say....my therapist is certainly earning her money with me! I am all over the place! My food addict is whispering in my ear every damn day, trying to hold on for dear life. It is trying to plant doubt, hopelessness, fear and anger

9/14/15 Lets go!

Thank you Choosehope! Honestly, I wished more people facing surgery would and/or could get a therapist for the long haul. Surgery is the start of facing the demons that got us to this desperation. goodbye to our best bud - carbs and sugars!

My doctors group submitted to insurance a week ago, I asked them to submit before they thought I would get approved. I was told by the surgeons group, and several insurance reps that I needed to do a 6 month program, but I only did 3 and I was approved! Surgery is scheduled for 9/29. So excited!

      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?
