Hello everyone!

On Wednesday May 16, after attending a seminar on the three different surgeries, i have made my decision to go with the gastric bypass instead of the band.

I am 36 years old - 5'3 - weight lately ranges from 244.6-251.2.

I have tried it all cleanses, weight watchers, lean cuisine meals, even after I lost the initial weight (lowest 180) I could never take anymore off even with exercise. I would maintain but nothing else.

I have struggled with my weight since I was 17 So 20 of feeling very uncomfortable with my body I am going to do it.

From what I gather the criteria for my insurance is to:

Start seeing physician once a month for the next 6 months which is Wednesday, then then surgeon approved dietician on July 3.

If I have to do the 6 months of seeing the physician then I am projecting a surgery date approx around the middle of December.

I have two daughters one 19 the other 5, full time job and starting Grad school in August.

Yes it is like me to pile the plate so high I am pecking over the top.

But I know that if I don't make this change I am going to just get bigger and Bigger and BIGGER!

Looking for the support from this community to continue on!

Would like to feel comfortable and beautiful!

Nish

      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.
