I'm scared too. I keep thinking that I won't succeed and then I will have spent tons of money for nothing.

July 2nd is my date! It's exciting to see so many people being banded on the same day as me. I'll be thinking of you all when they are rolling me into the OR crying! I'm going to be so emotional... scared/happy/excited/nervous/any emotion you could possibly think of! :(

Good luck guys! :drool:

I don;t have a specific date yet, but considering I went to the cardiologist today for my initial exam for my medical clearance and scheduled my stress test for the 19th of this month, I am pretty sure my surgery will now be in the beginning to mid July. WooHoo!! :(

I'm scheduled for July 9th. I just gave my work the doc's note. Thank god they didnt ask any questions. Had a whole bunch of things ready to tell them except the truth. It's not that i don't believe in what i'm doing, just that i don't need the freakin corporation to know about it...500 people word gets around fast!!!

Woo Hoo! I was told by our coordinator my surgery would be in July. She cannot give a firm date until I have my 2nd consult with the surgeon, but I will have all my requirments completed by the end of June and I also have to do a two week pre-op liquid diet. Do we have a group name yet?

I am also scheduled for July 8 and I am also wondering if I am doing the right thing. :eek: I think it is the first few weeks that have me worried the most. I have SO MUCH going on, with being a single mom to 7 kids, a new litter of puppies, and my ebay business. Do I really have time to do this? I am NOT canceling, some how I am going to make it fit my schedule!

      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.
