Surgery date 8/24/12 Friday. Home less than 24 hrs later on Saturday. Today is day 5 and I feel great considering I just had surgery. I've got 6 holes like a race track across my gut that seem to b healing just fine. I have pooed which I was really scared of since I had such a hard time with my kids then my hysterectomy. I have totally been following drs orders to the T. I have been drinking my Protein, taking my BP, diabetes, cholesterol, thyroid and anti depressant meds right on schedule. I think that is the worst for me cuz they taste like crap! But I'm 50 + 2 so I've done some damage. I am excited to start this 3rd act of my life. So many changes all the way around. The pic is of me ( in the middle) my oldest daughter on the right and my youngest on the left. When I started I weighed 211. Day of surgery weighed 200.5. Today I weigh 194. I am excited to b free of diabetes and high BP and live longer to dance at my granddaughters weddings! I would love to find others who have the same surgery date as me so we can trudge this road together. Best wishes for success to all! MrsB

      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.
