Hi...I'm 30 (2 wks shy of 31), single, no children, and live in the Chattanooga, TN area. I am waiting for insurance approval, but since my insurance supports weightloss surgery I hope the "weight" isn't too long. I am so excited hearing everyone's success stories I would love to share mine someday.

Hi I m 33 and was banded on nov 28 2007. I have currently lost 69lbs. Happy to see this forum. Interested in what other people my age are going through.

Thanks...it's nice knowing that someone else is from Chattanooga. Where did you have your LBT done at? I am thinking, once approved, of working with the Memorial program. I hear that they are pretty good pre and post surgery. Hope to talk more.

I used Memorial's system....kinda

I went with Dr Ponce who does surgery at Memorial, I had mine in Dalton GA though. I was self pay, my insurance said I wasn't fat enough or sick enough to qualify. I guess I could have gained another 15 pounds, but I'm stubborn that way....

I had my surgery on Jan 7, 2008. Haven't regretted it for a minute.

      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?
