It does Sandie.

Are you taking GasX?

Also I posted in the thread called "I hope I'm not in trouble" of one way that really helped me get rid of that gas.

Each day it's better and better.

I was banded 8/5/05 and I have been lucky to heal pretty well but still had those darned gas pains!

Just wanted to wish everyone good luck. I know your scared and nervous because I was and I believe everyone who has the band knows what your going thru. I'm very new at this was just banded on 8-8-05, but if I can help please just ask.

Nickie456,

I have a ? for you. What is Monterrey like? We leave early Tue. morning, I am assuming that it is very hot there. Did you get a wheel chair at the airport, and if so what was that like? I am embarrassed about getting an extension on the plane, not sure I will need one, but may. Anything you can tell me about it would be great.

Thanks, and glad you are doing so well.

Shelley

I had my surgery on Thursday afternoon (August 11th). I had a couple of date changes 1st was my schedule and then the Doctor's, but I am banded now. You guys who are later in August don't worry to much the whole process was very easy.

Best wishes.

      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?
