I just checked her profile and she hasn't posted since 12-31-07. I hope she's okay. Buttercup, let us know how you're doing.

Atlspeedy, good luck with the appointment and keep us posted about your surgery.

Hello everyone. Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I had a death in my immediate family, so i have been traveling back and forth to my home in Mississippi. As far as the weight loss, it has really slowed down. I had my first fill a few weeks ago but i still have no restriction. I am due to have another one in 3 weeks. I hope it helps. I am exercising and trying to follow the diet but its tough. Other than that i am doing well. Good to see everyone else is doing great. Good luck with your approval, Atlspeedy. I promise to keep in touch. Just had alot going on this past month. Well i am heading out to vote. I will check back in later.

Buttercup, I'm so sorry hear about the death in your family. I will definitely be praying for you and your family.

It is soo hard to lose weight when you don't have decent restriction. I hope this next fill does the trick for you. It's so good to hear from you and please do keep in touch. Take care!

      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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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.
