    Burping

    I'm 3yrs post surgery and burp excessively when I go too long without food. Once I start eating it settles down until it's time for me to eat again. Just started this a few months ago. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

  4. My surgery date 7/26/16 finally arrived. Everything has gone smoothly so far, I'm just extremely groggy and thirsty. I've had no liquids in my mouth for the past 30 hours. My pain is minimal but I do have a bit of nausea which has improved in the last few hours. My starting weight in May was 271 lbs and my weight day of surgery was 251 lbs. Can't wait to leave the hospital and start my new journey Sent from my VS985 4G using the BariatricPal App

  10. I can't believe how fast all of this is happening. I had my surgeon consult on May 30th, completed my 3 required nutrition classes last week and had my EGD on June 24th. My surgeon's office just called and said my insurance approved my surgery today and I have a date of July 27th! I'm shocked and thrilled at the same time. Can't wait to join the losers bench!

    SUBMITTED W/ HORIZON BCBS

    So exciting! I have the same insurance so I hope it happens that fast for me too. All I have left to do is my EGD scheduled for this Friday. Sent from my VS985 4G using the BariatricPal App
  12. I haven't even been to my first consult yet but I am so excited to start the wls process. I know Dr. Chung taught at Harvard med and put together the bariatric program at Capital Health just a few years ago. I was wondering if any of you are her former patients? I'd really like to hear about your experiences good or bad with Dr. Chung as your surgeon. Thanks in advance! Sent from my VS985 4G using the BariatricPal App
  13. *update* I had my consult with Dr. Chung and she's great, I felt completely comfortable with her. She does not require patients to lose weight before surgery but she is adamant that you cannot GAIN any weight at all. Sent from my VS985 4G using the BariatricPal App
  14. Other than being obese im healthy so I've only needed blood work and an EGD. But I think it really depends on your medical history. My husband has to get a sleep study done since he snores really bad and does not wake up well rested. Sent from my VS985 4G using the BariatricPal App
