  1. Hello I'm a newbie here!!! I joined for the support...I had my endoscopy on 4/3/17 and was told I have a hiatal hernia and it can be repaired during my sleeve surgery. I'm so terrified that I'm thinking about cancelling everything. Can anyone give some helpful insight on what's going on or what to expect..... Help 😐

      I am about 10 weeks out and I feel great!! I am not losing what I hoped but in 2 months I lost 40lbs and I never could have done it without doing this surgery. Most I lost in a month was 10lbs. You would not have started the process if you did not feel this was a solution or help to get healthy. It's tough but being overweight is a lot tougher. Good luck whatever you decide.

      oh no!! It was my fault for not following instructions to the T. An incentive spirometer helps you to take deep breathes after surgery. Since after u deal with some discomfort so you don't take as deep a breath.

      Remember to walk a lot and use the incentive spirometer if they give you one. I ended up with pneumonia because I didn't do it as faithfully as I should have!! And good luck you will do great!!

      I had my sleeve March 21st. Also hernia repair. I felt awesome right after the surgery. Then when I got home the real struggle began. I have struggled with eating and my weight since I was a child. It was my crutch and my comfort. The surgery part I don't regret , until the need to eat hits me. And I can't do it without hurting myself. I truly did not think of that aspect before the surgery. Now that I am passed the full liquids and can eat soft foods it's better. I know so many people that have been very successful and inspire me. But now I realize that if I don't get a grip on it now. Years down the road I could gain it back. It's a major decision and no going back!! Good luck to you and I'm excited to hopefully not have to shop plus size ever again!!
