Thanks everyone!! I feel somewhat encouraged. It does seem to be getting a little better with time. Thanks for the advice!

OH MY GOSH!!!! I WENT ON THIS SITE TONITE TO SEE IF SOMEONE ELSE WAS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM!! Mine is intermittent but I do find when I can "release" the air, it does get better for a short period of time. My question is.......how long is it going to last??? HELP!!!! By the way, my surgeon said the SAME THING so it must be the culprit!!! TRODMOM

Good luck and will be anxious to hear how you do. I will have my surgery end of Jan/first of Feb. Yes, very nervous but VERY excited at the same time. I, too, have tried everything in the book to lose weight. Weight has been a challenge for me since I was young too. Good luck!

:)I'm new to the site and am having surgery end of January/first of February. Just starting my journey to getting my life back. Is anyone else just beginning? Waiting to hear from you.

I have not gotten my sure date yet, but my surgery date is supposed to be late Jan/early Feb. I have just finished pre-op testing and should have a date next week or so.

I really needed to hear your story. I'm having the surgery in about 6 weeks! I'm nervous but very excited. I've battled weight my whole life and I'm really ready to do it this time!! Thanks for the confidence in what I know will work!
