If you have sleep apnea you MUST get help. As someone who does NOT have it but is married to someone who has SEVERE CHRONIC sleap apnea I can tell you treatment is NOT an OPTION but a necessity. My husband resisted getting a sleap study for 2 years until I set it all up. During those two years he was literally a dead man walking. He would be irritated all the time, fell asleap whenever we sat at a meal - even at other peoples house - snap at the kids, if I was not able to drive him it would take him 5 hours to make a one hour trip because he would stop at every rest stop to nap. His ability to work was comromised because he was so forgetfull. I can go on and on but I think you get the idea. At the sleep study, they said he woke up 187 times in ONE hour. The following week he went back to have a study using a machine - so they can figure out what the machine settings should be - when he came home the following morning he said he felt like a new person. Since he has the machine I have become like a policewoman making sure he uses it every night because there is no way I want him to go back to being the tired unhappy person he was. It is so nice to have him back. When I think back to those two years I realize how much he missed out on as well as our family. GOOD LUCK and I hope you get some sleep soon!!!

      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.
