Grateful Heart - I sometimes forget that I was sleeved and just drink naturally (chug).. and then mid swallow realize.. OMG.. what am I doing??? lol I know that feeling you are talking of.

I also get it sometimes when I eat and forget to CHEW enough. I get a lot of flem in my throat and that makes it worse... A quick trip to the bathroom relieves the pain. :thumbup: lol There is simply too much air in a small area. I feel like a baby that needs to be burped.. and if its not a careful burp.. I'm losing it like a baby would. lol

KK - I was self pay and went to Mexico. I didn't have 10+ grand for my procedure so when I decided on my VSG, self paying was not an option. After I researched... I found an amazing doctor and got my sleeve for $5200 which was more doable. $5200 is WAY different than 10k, right? ;) After some debate with my husband... lol... I went to Mexico. My doctor was Dr. Almanza and he has great reviews on here. There is not ONE thing that worried me or that I disliked while I was there. My biggest concern while finding a doctor wasn't whether he was in a big fancy hospital... it was how many good reviews I could find from his patients... and I found the most positive reviews for Dr. Almanza. It was great, safe, and I got my sleeve for only $5200. Just an option you have.

I know how this feels because I can't seem to stop doing it. I am constantly forgetting and than I have this bubble that just sits at the top of my throat. It is very uncomfortable. I don't know why my brain can't get the hint everytime I take a pill. It's very frustrating

      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.

        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.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
