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?

      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.
