Recommended Posts

Hi all, I'm from Buffalo too and was sleeved by Dr. Carauana 8/14. I'm down 18 lbs so far and things are going great. How are all of you doing?

Hi there' date=' just in my pre op testing in Rochester here. Probably going to go with the sleeve, though I have been looking at the band also. Just might be a bad idea with my arthritis that is starting to get worse in my knees. My dr is dr dibenidetto at Rochester general. Seems like a pretty nice guy when I met him at the seminar but tough, kinda no nonsense. I like that in a surgeon. Have my sleep study consult on the 29 th but I don't get to meet with my nutritionist until October :([/quote']

I have dr Gandhi same office as you how are things?

Things are going well.. Starting up an exercise regime which is kicking my rump. Have lost about 30 pounds from my latest highest of last year though I am having troubles getting under 249 though I think that is mostly from stress at work triggering me sliding into bad habits. Though my slides aren't nearly as bad or as long as before. How are things on your end? I really like the office there and the people.

      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.

        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.
