These were taken about 8 months apart. 1st pic is not so flattering but I didn't have too many clothes that fit at the time. Hope I did this post right! CAN SOMEONE HELP ME GET THESE PICS SIDE BY SIDE? THANK YOU!!

**notice the cheerleading skirts in the bottom right hand corner of pics, those were mine from high school, about 11-12 inches wide, maybe a 22 inch waist....ARG!! They won't even fit my thighs now...:confused:

My DSiL was kind enough to snap this one at the family reunion two days before surgery...:omg:

post-207166-13813133263521_thumb.jpgHere is a picture of me in July 2004, one year prior to my banding. I wore a size 30/32 shirt (3-4X), size 30 jeans on a 5' 2" frame.

post-203981-13813133263763_thumb.jpgThis second pic is 2 months after banding September 2005. Down to a size 2X, some 3X's, size 28 jeans.

I will post more recent pics asap.

      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.
