Where Is Everyone From?



Recommended Posts

Husband is active duty army stationed at Ft Hood, so we live in Killeen, TX. I was referred to Scott & White, in Temple, TX, for their bariatrics program and just had surgery on June 27th. My surgeon is Dr. Richard Symmonds and he is wonderful. Their program is informative and supportive and the hospital was very nice. I keep telling my husband that I am waiting for the other shoe to drop because this entire process has gone so smoothly, surgery was beautiful, recovery seems to be quite well.

I am also an army wife. My husband is stationed at hood and I am in the process of getting the sleeve started.

I am having trouble with vomiting. Mainly when I am sipping on drinks Or trying to eat an egg. When will the vomiting cease? Doctor said it was normal because my stomach is swollen still. Also I am having issues sleeping. Anyone else have suggestions or been thru this?

when did you have your operation? vomiting is part of the course unfortunately! are you online still?

      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!
