Sorry to hear you are having spasms. I had spasms after my surgery and they ended after about the 9th day. My doctor told me I had a lot of swelling and that caused me to feel so bad and the spasms. Hope yours stops soon too.

What does it FEEL like when you're having a spasm? I've got a weird feeling in my throat and the other morning after I drank about a third of my milk it felt like my throat was closing up! The only difference was that it was ice cold. I'm now noticing a similar feeling, though not the extreme of the other morning, when I drink something really cold. I know I wasn't stuck, it'd been the first thing I'd had all morning. AND I don't have a fill yet, nothing to get stuck on!

Anyway, can you describe the FEELING for me? I do see my surgeon for a fill on Tuesday, so I'll talk to him about it then, but still want to hear your experiences. Thanks!

      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?
