Hello I'm Nobia! I'm having my LB done next week, Thursday. I'm a newlywed, married less than a year to my husband who is a Marine stationed in Japan (not the disaster area). Between us we've got 5 kids and 3 dogs. My husband is set to return to the US next month and we're all moving to 29 Palms CA! Looking foward to a totally new life style in the coming weeks, months, years...

Oh, and not really enjoying the pre-op diet, but following it word for word!

Hi Nobia,

I'm scheduled to have my LB next week too!

Very excited, but not really sure if I have everything ready to go.

Nobia -

I'm having my LB procedure tomorrow at 1530. I'm also a former Marine - please give your husband a Semper fi for me when he gets back home.

I have been working down to 1200 calories a day - today has been the hardest. I stayed on a liquid diet all day yesterday, no problem. I did break

down today and have a small amount of low - fat cottage cheese, and Greek yogurt. Other than that, it is Protein Drinks and fruit juice.< /p>

I don't have a lot of questions - I've been waiting to have the surgery for 3 years - so you might say I am REALLY ready.

It would be nice to have a 'pen-pal' to chat with.

I'll let you know how I'm doing after I get home tomorrow night.

Semper fi

Thank you for the welcomes! I'm not nervous thank goodness, but the timing is so crazy. I'm set to move soon after surgery. We've got movers, so no heavy lifting for me, and I've arranged for the dog I have here with me in CA to stay with family until my husband and the other dogs arrive safely from Japan. But the idea of moving, kids in new school etc, gets a bit stressful. Luckly the kids are all older, and perfectly capable of helping out..

Looking forward the hearing how both of your procedures go.

      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.
