I had lap band 9 years ago, revising to bypass on 13th

Are you nervous? I was shaking right before. I'm glad to have finally gotten it done.

It comes and goes...

I was super nervous then I started getting excited...

Then the other day I was at a store, in front of me at check out was this very overweight man, I looked at the items he was buying, ice creams, pizzas etc all the stuff with not much nutrition but bunch of calories and sugar... Then I looked at my cart (I had veggies, broths, meat, sugar free jellos etc) and thought to myself "what is wrong with me that I can't do this on my own, that I have to have my intestines rearranged to help me lose weight"

But I do need help because obviously I can't do this in my own or and the lap band didn't help me to get to where I need to be.

I am nervous about complication, about not losing weight, about being sick if I can't tolerate food etc. but I am going through with it.

I am sure I will be a mess the day before and the day of :)

I'm excited to start dropping pounds. I want to walk by a mirror and not cringe when I see myself. It was a long process to finally have it done I'm glad my waiting game is now over. Hopefully it's mostly smiles from here on out.

It's been 5 days since my sleeve. I can't manage to get my fluids or Protein in. After I drink some protein or broth my stomach aches. Low calorie Gatorade is about all I can tolerate. Everything taste overpowering. I'm tired and run down. I'm afraid it will always be like this. :(

It won't always be like this. The difficulty drinking is caused be swelling and inflamation, which will get better and better. Once you are healed, you will be able to drink Water without discomfort.

      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?
