Hi Jill,

Hope all goes well for you! I know what you mean, I wish my husband could have come with me too when I met with the surgeon. He actually did but was in the waiting room with our autistic son. So while he drove me there & was there for me (at a distance), I was still meeting with the surgeon alone but all went well. Don't know how it goes with your surgeon but when I met with mine on Monday, we had a group meeting with the other few who will also be getting sleeved about the entire procedure. Sometimes I do think ignorance is bliss because after hearing all he had to say & all the gloom & doom of what could potentially happen, I was nearly going to back out! But then after the group meeting, he took us in one by one in an exam room & did just a bit of pressing on my liver to see how fatty it is & then he just asked if I had any questions (which I did & had them written down). We went over my questions & then I told him how important it was to me to have summer surgery due to my special needs son school schedule & he was so kind & made sure he went to the front desk to tell his secretary to try to get me in for July surgery. So far I'm scheduled for July 16th, unless they don't get my insurance approval back in time (they should!) So it was really no biggie to be meeting with the surgeon alone.

Just think of all you'll have to tell your husband when he returns home!! Sending you some Pixie Dust on your appointment & hoping all goes well for you!!

      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.

      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!
