Hello from Texas!



Recommended Posts

:) Just found out last night that I am going in for the surgery on Nov 1st! My doctor is Dr. Spivak in Houston. I am excited and a little nervous too. I have about 50-60 lbs to lose. I am a little concerned about cravings and the bad habits with food that got me to this point in the first place. :nervous Any words of wisdom would be appreciated!

Before Surgery: 5'6" 196 lbs

Goal: 140 - 145 lbs

Hello Everyone,

I finally made the decision to do something about the 60 lbs extra pounds I've been carrying around for years. My surgery is going to be on Nov 21 with Dr. Rambaut in Monterrey Mexico. Like everyone else who is new at this, I'm worried that I may be one of those person for whom the band does not work, but I've got to go forward and do this once and for all. I'll be joining the November group.

      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!
