I was sleeved in Feb of 2014 and the lowest I've been was 242. I crept back up and thought.. Hmmm.. Something is not right. No matter what I did. So I scheduled with a surgeon here Fort Worth, TX who is an affiliate of True Results. I just had my EGD done on April 19 and learned that.. I have an enlarged sleeve, 3cm hiatus hernia, and an irritation of the throat from chronic acid reflux. This makes me soo incredibly unhappy as well as the surgeon. He told me that my previous surgeon uses a 40 to determine the sleeve size as his standard. Where as other surgeons use a smaller one. I guess I am venting but also would like to know if anyone else has ever experienced this. I am hoping to have revision surgery to get back on track.

      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!

        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.
