On my meeting with the surgeon, he just talked to me about the procedure and the things I have to do to make this work. He reminded me this is a tool to lose weight and what I do with it is up to me. They had me sign a promise to do certain things like a pledge to drink 64 ounces of Water and exercise at least 30 minutes 4 to 5 times a week and a bunch of other stuff. They gave me my pre-op diet and then asked me when I wanted to have the surgery so they could check their schedule. Then I was given my surgery info and when to go get blood work done. It was a great appt and I am so excited.

I'm Day 21 post-op. Wassup? How can we help?

My appt with the surgeon was similar to Shayes. A commitment to take a Multivitamin daily, exercise (even just walking), stick to the regiment (Clear liquids, then Full liquids, then Purée, then Soft Diet, then Regular Diet)... Etc.

Surgery was scheduled. It was a good appt.

I got the surgery date the day I went to my surgeon. I had picked a date and hoped he could do it that day. He could. They gave me the menu for my 2 week pre-op also. I have not been sleeved yet. I go June 6 by choice.

      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.
