Here is my update to this point my my process.

We left the hotel with Dr a' driver at7:20 and came across the border without any problems. As we driving aroun I have to honest I was allittle worried based on the surrounding area but once we got here it wasn't so bad. We had visit with Dr A where he reviews your history then as they say "they" scoot you away. Now when I say scot I mean they move fast. We left the Docs area @8 and by 8:30 I'd already had my blood work X-ray photo taken and into the hospital gown.

The hospital is old and it shows but it's not bad at all. Just be prepared for a flashback in time so to speak. I was second on the schedule so I laid in bed until 11. The guy before me had large stomach so the removal took a little longer than usual since they wanted to pull it slowly not cause him more pain necessary. I dontt. Remember much once they gave me my happy juice but my wife says I kissed her and began crying like baby......again I have no recollection of said event.

I woke up in my room with very little pain and went right back to sleep. I've been up pee several times today and just finished two rounds down the hall. Dr A and his assistant have both stopped by today and are amazing. I can't have anything today except rinsing my mouth put. No swallowing anything. Tomorrow I start ice chips andping Water.

I'll send out another updat to,or row. I also apologize if this isn't the best write up but my eyes are a little fuzzy for some reason.

Take care everyone!!

      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!
