Hi.

I am post-surgery (had mine on August 3rd this year). I just wanted to check out a forum for WLS (I'm not a fan of the FB groups so far). I'm not sure what I hope to gain except a place to read others' journeys and ask questions about my own.

Anyway, I look forward to reading and learning...hopefully!! :)

I joined this group for the same reasons of sharing and learning and I have not been disappointed. Welcome to the journey. I had my operation on Sep 25.

Welcome to the WLS forums. You'll learn a LOT here about what to expect, how other people are coping, the challenges, the successes, all of it. Great place to be.

I am almost a month out and joined this forum in August when I had my initial consultation. It’s been a great platform with many knowledgeable and friendly people willing to share experiences and suggestions at the ready. I hope you enjoy it!!

      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?
