Hi Dana,

I will be banded the 21st! My pre op diet starts next Thursday and will be on liquids only for 3 weeks. My husband has been on his liquid only for 2 weeks now and is doing great...I am so proud and amazed at his incredible will power and determination, he's my true inspiration. I have always been heavy, my Mom remembers counting calories for me at about 8 to get some weight off. My highest was about 310 (to tell you the truth I am not exactly sure after I got on the scale and it was 300 I stopped weighing. I might have been bigger than 310 but I just have to guess). So I have done a lot on my own but after the baby I just didn't loose (I had gotten down to 204). So now I am looking forward to being about 150-160 and keeping it off. For me the band is not only about loosing but then being able to MAINTAIN!

      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.
