This is going to sound crazy but I am not going to weigh myself for another 2 weeks when I go back to see the nutritionist .I am on soft foods.I can't take or handle a stall right now....Wouldn't be able to handle it...sounds crazy but I know me...compulsive.I need the first 50 pounds off to feel like this bypass is really working....sometimes I think..."did I really get a bypass?I really went through with this?"It blows my mind!

I'm due to get bypass in hopefully April. Waiting for some tests and the doctors decision then we move from there. I too live in Pittsburgh. Where about are you? I'm in the south hills. McMurray. Don't be so hard on yourself. Stalls happen. Not from anything your doing. It's just part of it all. Hang in there????

Hello, I'm new to the site as well. I'm 7 weeks out and had my surgery in Pittsburgh. I have already had a stall for about two weeks but started losing again this week. Frustrating, but I feel so good. I lost 60 before surgery and 25 post op. At 85 lb loss I'm half way to my goal. Best of luck!

April 26 will be our 19th wedding anniversary, so I will remember your date for sure! I had my surgery at Magee. It went really well.

Awe Happy Anniversary to you! I'm guessing that's why your name has 426 in it????

So glad your surgery went well. Guess we will both have something big to remember that date by!

      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?
