I decided that I had to do something after I realized that I was continuing to have health issues that was attributed to my weight. Without telling anyone, I signed up to begin my journey and started my journey in Feb 2016 to a much healthier and happier life.

My stats were as follows:

HW 325; SW 289; CW 268

57 lbs down in total

21 lbs down since surgery (1.5 months)

I was sleeved on 12/21 and recovery went well. I couldn't have made a better decision.

Sharing my progress with you all...

Wishing everyone a successful journey and stay tuned for more updates.

Im going in Feb 27th. I backed out the first time 2 years ago. It was a mental road block for me, but I now realize I need to do this before I get sick. How are you feeling since surgery and how difficult is the liquid phase?

I'm feeling great JerseyJules! I actually didn't mind the liquid phase. I moved faster than expected through Clear Liquids, then full liquids, purée, and solids because I wanted to get back to work after 2 weeks knowing what I could and could not tolerate food wise.

      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.
