Good luck to you. I'm still in pre-op but that was super easy. I had blood work, chest x-ray, spoke to nurse and nut, and had cardiac clearance. Took about 3 hrs total. Almost passed out during blood but that's always my case. Good luck and don't stress about tomorrow :)

I was very scared starting preop too. You are about to become educated on what this is about and if YOU can do it. It is scary having our food taken away cause most use food to some degree as a coping tool.

I almost backed out twice. The first time was me telling my doctor I will go home and try for another year to lose the weight on my own. He said "go ahead, you will be back in two years with another 50 lbs and then you will have comorbidities. The reason we fail on diets is it takes too long to lose the star weight and we become too hungry".

The 2nd time was a week b4 the surgery, I told myself I don't care how many people know I am about to do this, I change my mind and I am not going to do it. Later that day I heard my God, my higher power tell me Yes It is the right decision to do it. Now 7 1/2 months out and 92 lbs gone I AM SO THANKFUL I walked thru my fear & did this. I was ready, 5 yrs earlier I made a decision that I was not ready. I still needed my food and I knew I would gain it back. NOW was/is right for me. Good luck

      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.
