Finally get to have my intial consult this coming Monday 4-27 and am more than ready! I am anxious, curious & excited. Just hoping I don't have to wait some 6 months more to have the actual surgery done. Wish me luck!

Good luck! Let me me tell you something, I was hoping the same thing and it take 6 months to get the actually surgery. But those 6 months will pass you by weather your waiting for the surgery or not. So just remember that. Even during the times that you want to just say "f it, I don't need this". Remember that, because the 6 months will pass, surgery will come and go. I just realized that it's been 6 months SINCE my surgery and I am so grateful I got through the 6 months and the pre and post op diets. It was all a challenge but SO worth it. It's been one year since I began this journey, 6 months since surgery and I've lost 64 pounds that I know I would not have lost without it. Whew, mouthful, sorry. Stick with it and good luck, Jason!

Best wishes! My one-on-one meeting is on Tuesday. It's freaking me out a little that within a month I will have 3 of the 6 steps required by the surgeon completed. I think I'll be okay if it's a few more months before the actual surgery depending on what insurance says. I want to get at least 10 lbs off before the surgery (I'm hoping for 20) and I want to make sure I'm ready in my head and heart to do this.

Let us know how your consultation goes!

      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?
