Two Weeks Until Surgery



Recommended Posts

I can't say that I am getting nervous, but the entire process has been long. I am scheduled for December 20th, 4 days after my 46th birthday. I guess no cake for me.

Some of my associates have been pushing me along through the process, and have entered me into a Spartan Race in June to push me to get back into shape. With all the procedures completed and only my pre-op meeting left the wondering begins as to how this will actually play out.

I am 330 now and my goal in the next couple of years is 190. From there I can get the skin worked on to reveal the 6 pack that I once had. I work at renaissance faires all over the country, and that means that my tights and vests will allow me to show off what I had when I was in the military.

Russell!!! By now its only one week left and by greatness you will do great. I made a list of all the reasons I am doing this to remind myself of all of the things I am either missing out on, or can no longer do. I find that it encourages me to push myself harder. I am being Banded on Dec 28th and am right behind you. You work at the Renaissance Fairs... and I attend them. I REALLY want to wear one of the "ladies attire" and look decent for children.... hahaha! Cheers to us and our soon to be success!!!

      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.
