Stuff just got real!

Last week after attending an informational seminar, I decided to go ahead an set up a consult with the surgeon. Earliest I could get in to see him was September 9 - which today it hits me, dang, that's 4 weeks away! So I called his office today to see if any cancellations come up. They said none had, but they would call me if any did.

Lo and behold - they called me a few minutes ago - a cancellation came in and I can see him at 10 tomorrow!

Must sit down and write out all the questions I thought I had plenty of time to do! Must also remember to breathe :unsure::D

Congrats on your first steps! I had a virtual consultation with my surgeon last week and I was soooo nervous! He was soo patient with all my questions! What's helped me the most so far was connecting with someone on here who had surgery at the same clinic with the same doctor. She was able to give me a fly by fly on her experience and answer questions I had about the exact place I'll be going! Each doctor does things differently so it really eased my mind to read all her info. Just remember, the consult is just that. You aren't committing to anything that you don't want to do. Good luck :)

I've been on contact with a few folks who have used this doctor. They were great about answering questions. Love the support on this board!

Only one negative - not sure if my hubby is going to be able to make the appointment on this short of a notice :( And of course, now I've forgotten everything I wanted to ask lol But I know everything will work out for the best :)

      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.
