hello, i just wanted to tell everyone, i did have my surgery done on the 11th of jan. i am doing great, i was real sore when the surgery was over with, but i had a lot of support from love ones and they got me through it.

i stayed in the hopsital for a few days only because i had some pain that would not go away because when they gave me my lap band surgery they found out i had a hernia that was starting and they had to take care of that as well, which i am greatful because i got both things taken care of.

i must say i am not hungry, the only problem i found was that watching tv i did not realize how many commericals have food, and it all does still look so good, i need to get my brain intact with my stomach now lol, but i am not hungry, just would like to taste a few things lol.

the one amazing thing is that the day before surgery i weighed my self and i was 242 and today i weighed myself just wondering if the liquid diet so far has done anything, and i already lost seven pounds i am now 235 it was amazing, and i am very happy i did what i did.

i must say that it will be hard about the liquid diet for a while, but i can do this, i have to, i want to be my self again, another good thing now that one of my friends now sees how it is she is calling up there tomorrow to get an appointment to have this done, and i am so proud of her, she needs to feel good about herself to.

well i wanted to just let everyone know things went well, and i can not wait for more weight lose, talk to you all real soon bye.

Congratulations, so glad you got your band and the hernia fixed in one surgery! You're right, I hardly watch t.v. any more, there are so many bad foods commericials. Would that be subliminal advertising? ("Eat food, Eat food.")

I had to laugh about the food commercials, that was one of my first observations no one warns you about. And everything looks soooo good. It will pass. Don't forget the Vitamins.

Congratulations and good luck on your new journey.

      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?

        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.
