I had a "dils". He went in through the upper portion of my belly button and then did a small 5mm opening about 2 inches from my belly button. I'm very glad I don't have five incisions healing! These 2 have been enough!

Ok ok show offs. I'm glad there's a new procedure out and you guys were able to take advantage however, the 5 incisions aren't actually the issue, it's the 2 incisions where the band and the port are that was uncomfortable. So you're actually in the same boat as the rest of us:p

I don't understand the fear thing; are you afraid of the 2 incisions or the actual surgery itself?

Congrats on the decision to get the band and I hope all works out well for you:)

      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.
