I am 10 days post op today..and for the past few days been experiencing heart palpitations. I did consult with my pcp today and since i have hypothyroidism she did lots of blood work and my tsh came back very low meaning i'm getting way to much synthroid. So she is thinking this is the reason why for the palps has anyone else had them?? She did lower the dose and i can't wait to see if this stops the problem. On the good side of things my cholesterol and triglycerides where all in normal range!! Ive been on medication for both for the past 8 years and I quit taking them the past 8 weeks since I have been watching and also down a total of 50 pounds since starting the 6 month program.. 30 pounds the first 6 months and the past 3 weeks another 20 so thats the positive side!! Still a few days away from soft food but can't wait to "eat" instead of drink... have a great week!!

      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.
