Well my surgery date is the 14th of may. When I did the band there was 6 months of crap to deal with with my Insurence. ,,, sooooo I was beyond ready. But since in paying for it out if my pocket I walked in today and said how far back is scheduling ? They said the 14th and I said sign me up. Now I just hope I don't back out of it. I'm really ready to get rid of this band ,,, and actually have a good shot at losing weight and keeping it off.

Dont be afraid and go for it! it is life changing, i did this surgery out of pocket also but mine was faster, i first knew about this surgery at the beginning of november and i went to the doctors office November 6th at 5:30 pm he asked me how soon did i want this surgery and i said as soon as possible (thinking that he wont say anytime before a month) he looked at me with a big smile on his face and said someone was scheduled for tomorrow at 10 am, but she had an emergency and she wont be able to make it, want to come instead? LMAO i looked at my husband scared as hell and he said go for it, you want this more than anything. I agreed so i had to be at the hospital 7 am next morning for tests then at 10 am i had my surgery!! you have a month to get prepared i had less than 12 hours :D You'll be fine. GOOD LUCK AND KEEP US UPDATED!

      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.
