Thank you ladies for sharing. My biggest fear with VSG was how bad skin would look after weight loss. In my 30s I had gone from 185 to 130 and hated my crêpey skin on belly (if I knew then what I know now)...fast forward to 50+ and my only thoughts are about fearing the kind of pain you have all been through. I have watched my share of YouTube vids on the belly surgeries and skin removal, pannus removals, scares the hell out of me. Not even sleeved yet, just waiting til psche evaluation on 10/28. Then I will probably have to wait til January because I am afraid if had before Thanksgiving/Xmas, work would be too much and recovery would be rough.

Hi!

Thanks for your response. My suggestion is to take it one step at a time. Wait to reach your goal weight before considering the pain of plastics. Trust me thinking so far ahead can be nerve racking. I'm sure everything will turn out fine for you. Good luck on your journey! :)

WOW!!! You are incredible!! Thanks for sharing, and yes I am taking it a day at a time. I have had a few hurdles, but still proceeding. I am hoping that January 9th or 10th will be the day. I always wonder how people decide to do a bypass as opposed to a sleeve. What made you decide on a bypass (if you don't mind)? I have decided on a sleeve. I had been up to 332 a few years back and got back down to 250 (currently at 270 working on getting back down a bit before surgery). I teeter totter on those 20 lbs.

      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?
