My next appointment with my doctor isn't until 3/29. :blink:

I'm weighing in daily, realizing there are fluctuations.

I have to go get labwork done on the 16th.

How about you?

My first appt was 5 days post op.

My second one is 19 days post op.

I know my next one will be at 6 wks post op. It is supposed to be my first fill. HOWEVER, I am going on a cruise 4 days later so I suspect he will not do the fill until I get back from the cruise which will then be 8 wks post op.

I get seen once a month. I believe that will continue for six months (as long as everything is still going good), then I think it will be 3 months, then 6 months, then yearly. I only weigh myself once a week, I used to do it daily, but have found I do better just weighing in once a week.

I had surgery a week ago today. I had my first recheck today and my next visit isn't until April 4th. And even then I only go if I'm not losing weight. He seems really casual about rechecks unless there are issues. We'll see!

I had my post op appointment today and won't see my doctor again until 04/07, which is also when I may get my first fill (my doctor said he prefers about 6 weeks recovery for new bandsters). Now, if only I can be patient, and make it through bandster hell. Boo...

      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.
