Hi All,

I'm Stephanie from Ohio. I have no yet had surgery and actually have a two month wait for my first consultation. If all goes well I will be having my surgery with Dr. Vanek in Youngstown, OH. I thought this would be the best place to find answers and even some support from time to time. A little about me: I'm 23 and still in college. Over all I'm quiet but tend to have an offbeat sense of humor. I hope to hear from and get to know you all.

Stephanie :rolleyes2:

Hi there!

My name is Chris and I am actually being banded by Dr vanek on Sept 30th! He is a good doctor and I was very comfortable with him! Everyone at the weight loss center is wonderful and I think you are making a good decision! Be prepared for a lot of work in getting ready for the surgery! I am not trying to scare you , but just be ready! If you ever want to talk or have questions let me know! Good luck! When is your initial consult? That is a long appt but very informative!

Chris : )

      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?
