Went for the 2 week post op and was all proud that I lost 23lbs, 13 preop. Doctor squints at me and says- ugh you should have lost 20 lbs by now. Wow, and I thought I was doing ok. :(. He said well its alright but you better lose 25 by the end of October. Way to get motivated.

Two week post my weight was still up from surgery. It took me a few weeks for it to go back down. Your body will move at its own rate despite ypur doctor's expectations. Congratulations on a job well done.

your advice and admonitions are better accepted when you work it this way... grown folks do not take well to being 'fussed at'

It has been my general observation that it takes a particular personality type to be a good surgeon (cough*ragingnarcissist*cough.) That's not always the case of course, but I think it's a good thing in a lot of ways. I want a surgeon who's a competitive, detail oriented, driven perfectionist! If I want to talk about my problems and need a good listener who will offer insight I make an appointment with a therapist. :)

      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.
