Hey Barb ~ are you having your surgery done at UVA? My mom had back surgery done there about 7 years ago and it was really nice there. I love Charlotesville, it's beautiful. The only thing it has going against it is the University, LOL. (I'm a Hokie!)

I am being banded on October 29th. My daughter is being banded tomorrow morning and my wife on 9/29. I need to wai so that I can be their caregiver until they are on their feet. And then, I can have my surgery. It seems like a long way off but I do get to learn from my daughter and wife's experience.

Bridgette,

I'm a Hokie fan myself. My son graduated from VA Tech.

I'm having surgery at the Martha Jefferson Hospital. They have a brand new Bariatric Center and head physician Dr. Michael Trahan came to Va from Texas with several years of experience with lap band and gastric bypass. I work for the UVA hospital, but my private physician is with MJH and he referred me to Dr. Trahan. Although I probably would have been approved a lot quicker at UVA.

Dirigo,

I've heard of families that do everything together but yours takes it to a whole new level. You will certainly understand what the other is going through and will be able to encourage one another. I wish all of you the very best.

      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?
