Hi Nicole and Welcome!

Why is it taking so long to get pre-op stuff?

Well, for one thing, I needed a 5 year history, and I have only been with my current dr for 1 year. My old dr retired and went out of the country and the office girls would NOT give me the chart notes!! Also, I'm a total procrastinator and slowly would get some of the things checked off one by one, but SLOWLY :biggrin:

I had that happen to me once and I put up a big fuss and won. Your medical records are yours they have no right to withhold them from you.

It took me a while to get moving too...it is a big decision and there is certainly nothing wrong with taking your time. I went to my seminar in September 2007 and didn't actually get the ball rolling until late April/early May of this year. Good Luck!

Thanks so much, looks like you're doing awesome on your weight loss. I see you live in Virgina, how is it over there, are you in the way of any of the storms?

Yeah, I've enjoyed pretty steady weight loss since surgery, hit one plateau but overall it has gone pretty smoothly.

We had heavy rain last weekend and the skies are threatening us with some storms today but nothing serious...it's been a dry summer so the rain is welcome.

      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?
