It's been 9 months since my surgery, I had my ups and downs. At first I felt like I made the biggest mistake in my entire life. But know I couldn't have it another way. I am so happy, and blessed that I made this decision. I've lost bout 130lbs. I am so happy

Thank you very much. Remember everyone is different. And in your case it might be even easier for you than it was for me.

I was never hungry it was more the fact that I saw my entire family eating all this foods, that I couldn't. I got so depressed. I wasn't mentally prepared, and on top of that I have depression.... So that didn't make it any easier. As time pass by I felt better and better. And I was mentally prepared. And I knew that I made the right choice. I saw the difference in me, my personality how I carried myself. I feel amazing.

Thanks for that, can't have been easy on so many levels, but from your pic you look great so it was obviously worth it. Again well done and you, and others on this forum, give me strength for what I must do, can't wait for my 130 but I can see that that is the light at the end of a dark tunnel :-)

      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!
