Introducing myself!



Recommended Posts

My husband began talking about weigh loss surgery about 5 years ago. He would start the process then quit half way through. Nov of 2011 he started the process and got approved. I was very much against the surgery. I had been excising a eating right to show him we could lose weight if we exercised and had little will power. I accompanied him to his fist appointment with the surgeon. Funny thing happened, The surgeon reassured me this was the best decision and he scared my husband into not having it. Fast forward 4 months and he was now being require to take cholesterol meds on top of insulin so he decides once again he is going to have surgery.. And I start my 6 months of appointments with Kaiser. He had surgery August 30th and is down 70lbs. I was approved December 28th.. Since I am familiar with the process I have scheduled my appointments quickly and now have a surgery date of Jan 21st.. I am so excited. Dr said I should have no problem getting to 150..

      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!
