Mine is on the 14th. I am getting nervous...mostly for the loss of my old life though. I could go and eat anything I wanted anywhere I want. 8 days of liquid diet has taken care of that though. And I'm not pleased with how I look when I do that so this is the best way for me. Good luck...in no time surgery will be over and your new life will start.

Yay for us!!

I had surgery today. Wasn't nervous at all but when the wheeled me in the OR it hit me, "wow this is really about to happen". But, somehow I remained calm, my wife was another story she was nervous enough for both of us! Lol good luck!!

Mourning food. Oh, yeah I went through that too. I thought about all of my favorite foods in the beginning thinking ill never eat them again. Then I joined my fitness pal and I see banded people eating those foods, in MUCH smaller quantities. Good luck! You will do great!!!

I did it and I am home and back to work. Surgery was Friday the 10th. I am very sore, bruised and swollen. My stomach looks like it was hit by a truck. Cant wait for this swelling to go down because Ive gained like 8lbs since Friday. I was down a couple of those today, but I am ready to start losing this weight! Yes, I am also mourning food and already sick of broth and Jello. I am so anxious for real food.

Hows everyone doing?

      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.
