Just had my appt with the surgeon, NUT, and psych and now there are more tests. Ugh! Psych cleared me. Yay! NUT was just information. But evidently I now need a sleep study, an appt with the pulmonologist, a repeat lab, and an endonoscopy (sp). I know that all of these appts will help me have a successful surgery, but I wish I could have been working on getting them all in during the last month. :sigh: And to top it all off I found out today that I am pre-diabetic. This surgery can't come fast enough for me.

Ah yes. During my 6 month pre op I had to do : cardiology, pulmonary , sleep study, psych, endoscopy, nut, visit my surgeon monthly. Lots of stuff. But at least I had all this done and I know where my health stands. I would never have had any of this stuff checked if I wasn't having surgery. Which I had already. Good luck!!

Good luck! It's a bunch of hoops you have to jump through but they all lead to a successful surgery.

      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.
