Oh my goodness! 4 weeks from today my husband and I will be flying to LA, spend the weekend enjoying California, then driving down to San Diego to meet up with the driver to take us to the Marriott in Tijuana! My surgery will be Monday morning on the 12th! I can't wait! It will be here before I know it! I just hope I do well on my pre op diet while we're enjoying the day at Universal Studios! ( yes, we're leaving the kids behind while we go play!! Haha)

Thanks!! Will do! I just realized that a year ago today is when I met up with an old friend and she had told me she had the sleeve. I had never heard of it. She looked wonderful. She was a year out and had lost 100 lbs. At first I didn't think I could do something as drastic as the sleeve but then after more failed of attempts at dieting and me staying home one day just boo hooing, I decided to look into it. I have been overweight as long as I can recall. As someone mentioned on another post, I am a professional dieter. I've done about every diet you can think of. I even went to WW with my mom when I was just in elementary school! I'm constantly judging myself because of my weight and turn down fun social activities because I don't want to be the fat girl amongst the crowd. I was disappointed when I seem my insurance's qualifications. I started researching private pay options and discovered Mexico as a cheaper option. After a few conversations with my husband, he agreed to me having surgery in Mexico. We've only been married a bit over a year. I'm truly blessed. He loves me unconditionally and knows how much my weight bothers me so he has worked his butt off to make the extra money for the surgery. I feel like its the best present anyone could ever give 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.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
