:tt2: Hello all, I've been doing good, I'm down 53 lb's now since 9/15/08 and is doing real good. I feel so much better I can't believe how 53lbs could make such a difference, but it did. There for awhile I thought I'd never feel good again, but after 6 weeks I started feeling like a new person. I'm so happy I had this surgery, I was afraid but I think it was the best thing I ever done, I wish my insurance would have paid years sooner. Love and Hugs Bobbie:thumbup::whatchutalkingabout:wub::laugh::mellow::laugh::cool2: P.S. I've had two fills since surgery too :wub:)

:thumbup: Melisa, Wow that's a hard one, I think the most important thing is to follow your doctors orders, and don't get discouraged if you don't lose right away, sometimes yous stay the same weight for awhile. It's gonna come off, and the way I see it is well we took years to put this on our bodies, so it might take awhile for it to come off, but slow is better, if you lose it too fast then your skin hangs and I really don't want to have another surgery for that.

Be patient and follow your diet and everything will happen the way it should. Love and Hugs Bobbie:w00t:

      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?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
