My surgeon asked me what surgery I wanted and why. Talked about medical history. Explained the procedure and gave me a folder of all the things I needed to do pre and post op. Lasted 15min at most. I didn't have any questions because I've been researching this extensively.

My consult was over 3 hrs. They took us in as a group showed us videos about each individual surgery and talked to us about each one we also talk to the dietician and to the the individually to pick which WLS is best for you! They were very good in making us understand what's going on. And helping u choose the best route of WLS to give u best results and so on.

Mine was pretty extensive. I met my surgeons whole staff and each spoke with me about my concerns and questions. I had allot of medical questions an wound up talking my surgeon for 45 min! His head nurse was very helpfull.

If I may give a little advice, be honest. Ask whatever you need. Write a list if it helps, if you wonder about libido after ask about it! You should leave that office firm in your decision and excited. If you leave scared and intimidated you didn't ask the questions.

Good luck and we are here for you!

      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.
