Well I have been looking forward to this day for 6 months and it has finally come! October 20, 2016 is my surgery date! I started my journey at 519.5 pounds and currently today I weigh 379.5. So far I have lost 140 pounds.

I am overly excited to see what the future has in store for me after my surgery and the new life I can give my family. My boys deserve the best father that I can be and at 519.5 pounds, I was not that! 2017 is going to be a great year!

Everyone keeps asking if I am nervous for my surgery. I tell them all the same thing. NO! I am excited! I want to get the next chapter of my life started! I want to be able to keep on going with the awesome changes I have already started to make! They also ask since I have already lost so much why still have the surgery!? I have lost this weight with dr prescribed pills and also my 14 day liquid diet. I need this surgery to be my tool to help me through the next phase of my weight loss and for the future to help me keep it off! It's not going to be easy but I am up for a good fight!

Good luck! I hope it all goes very smoothly for you. You won't be feeling great when you wake up, but it'll pass pretty quickly. A few days after surgery you will be getting around pretty nicely and after a week, you'll feel like you're able to get back to normal life...with the new changes to your eating, of course!

sleep when you need sleep, walk a lot, do your best on the fluids, and follow the surgeon's instructions. You are about to cross the threshold into your new life, which will actually feel pretty much the same as your old life, except your relationship with food will be radically altered :)

      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?
