4/30 and I'm not freaking out!



Recommended Posts

April 30th is my date - I thought I would be 'freaking out' once I had the date, but right now I am truly at peace with my decision! I am actually getting a tad excited! I keep thinking about truly playing with my kids. Getting rid of all my fat clothes, (I'm going to sell them on Ebay to make money to buy more)! fitting into the smaller ones in my closet. Taking my daughter to her first day of kindergarten this fall and not worrying that I am the 'fat mom'.

I'm getting banded 2 days before you and, like you, I feel completely at peace with my decision. I have tons of questions but feel good that I'm getting it done. I hope we both stay that way!

I was banded last year on April 30. I hope that day is as great for you as it was for me. I am so happy that I made the decision that I did. I feel wonderful about myself and my success to date. Congratulations to you. I'll be thinking about you on that day (as I Celebrate one year).

my date is april 29th and I'm so excited but I know what you mean about feeling at peace. for the last few months its been doctors appts and support groups and thinking about when it will finally happen, and now there is a date and I'm just relieved I know the date of the start of my new life, like a second birthday I guess. only 12 days before my real one, and that will still makes me a taurus awesome. congrats on your journey I'm right there with you.

My date is also April 30th at 7:30 am. It seems like its taking forever to get here. I have a countdown calendar at my desk and everyday I'm checking off another day.

      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?
