It is sad that it happened to such a young child, but the parents have some fault in that too. Why didn't they teach the child proper nutrition?

Was it dr. Alvarez niece? It's not all about being thin, it's about health, finding clothes that fit, etc.

It could be...I can't remember whether niece or cousin. Yes on Dr. Alvarez. I totally agree with you, its about health.

I have a daughter who is 12, 5'7, 210. No I would not consider her getting the surgery. I can help her but not until I help myself. She is the reason for my surgery decision. Family health!

I agree! Obviously I put her in the position she is in due to my improper habits. Now it is up to me to make it right. Fixing me fixes her :)

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
