Hey everyone. I know I haven't been on in a while. This is why. I'm right smack dab in the middle of my 6 month diet and I'm feeling like it's taking forever. I've done most of my pre surgery tests and evaluations, and the ones I haven't done are because they have no open appointments. Did anyone else go through this? How did you get through it?

Thanks :tt2:

I just got done looking at your album of pics and I can't believe your 350. Your so handsome! I commend you for going thru all of this. It's got to be so much harder for guys to jump thru all the hoops. Keep us updated! :tt2:

Thanks Melody and Cortney for the well wishes. Good luck to both of you too.

And Melody, a lot of people say that. I carry my weight VERY well. I'm tall so that is a big reason. But I am worried about any future complications.

Thanks for the replies!

Drew as a cash patient I didn't have to jump through all the hoops but I can tell you at almost 2 months post-op it is worth everything you are going through!!!! Every pound lost is a victory and means a longer healthier life and I commend you for making this life altering decision at such a young age!

      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?
