Fantastic...I had my surgery on 4/14/08 just two weeks ago today! I have lost 26 pounds in two weeks. Yes, 26 pounds in two weeks is for real. I lost 10 pounds prior to surger which means I am down 36 pounds total in a month! It is the best thing I ever did. I had some mild shoulder pain for week after surgery and that was all. My incisions are very tiny and already healed :wink2: Its a cake walk...enjoy!

Welcome to LBT Snowman. As others above have said, keep us posted on how you are doing. I am still jumping through hoops and hope to be banded before the year is out. I hope you are home and recovering now. All the best to you.:lol:

Well I am up and around , but cant seem to find any way to sit or lay to get comfortable, I am sure that is normal. I have been trying to walk some so hopefully that will help me get to feeling better faster. thanks for all the support and kind wishes.

      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?
