Recommended Posts

My name is Charla and I am having surgery tomorrow and was just hoping for company! My surgeon is Dr. Illan, and Omar is my coordinator (he has been great!). After two days at florence, I am booked into the Lucerna Hotel. I'm so excited that I doubt I'll get much sleep tonight, but no matter, I have to be to the airport by 5 AM. I'm so ready to begin this journey! I also want to say thank you to everyone on this board. This community is amazing and your willingness to share has answered every question I could think of and more!

Hi, Charla, we made it! I'm sitting at the Marriott! Here we go, our surgery day has arrived. I am so thankful that I stayed on the preop diet. I'm going to drink Water as much as I can, and head to bed. Keep me posted, Jill

PS The driving here is crazy!

Sweet dreams, Jill. Think of how much more we will enjoy this summer with some weight off! We'll check in again tomorrow.

Hi Charla,

You'll be thrilled with Dr. Illan...he's amazing!! And you are in caring, fantastic hands with Omar. Honestly, I couldn't have asked for better care. You'll see lots of other patients at florence, once you get there. My sleeve buddy (waving at Kursti), who was also sleeved by Dr. Illan, was very social while we were at the hospital and met a lot of people. You'll pass people as you are walking in the hallways and everyone is very friendly.

Good luck to you!

      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.
