Judy, that live surgery was crazy. It kind of freaked me out, but I have come too far to quit now! It is really gonna happen! :)

Oct 13th here, with Dr. Bauman in Concord, NC. Starting to "nest" kinda like the last few weeks of pregnancy...lol. I've been organizing, planing, making lists...you'd think I'd be leaving hubby in charge for more than a day. LOL Anyone else doing this as an outpatient?

I'll finally be banded on October 11th. Very excited right now and can't believe how fast this last week has gone. At first my date was 7 weeks out and I thought it would never get here - now the closer it gets, the faster time seems to be going. The only thing I can compare it to is maybe being 5 years old and waiting for Santa! Love this site and am so glad that we are all here together....

My date is the 24th. It's been eight months since I started this journey and even though I thought it would never end, it went pretty quick. These last two weeks are a killer. I can't wait.....

      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?
