The first visit was two days after surgery. Imma big baby and couldn't handle the pain (when is the last time you heard a man keep it real like that? Lol). Stayed 4-nights then went home for 3-days. Then I had the endoscopy because my pouch closed on me. Stayed 2-days then home for a week. Finally I was puking so bad that I couldn't keep Water down! Dehydration, yadda yadda yadda equaled another week in the hospital. Finally I'm feeling good and have been lifting like crazy!! I lost 8-inches from my waist, 11-inches from my tummy and added 5-inches of muscle to my already muscular arms!! I feel great!!!

Ok here's a picture of me from today at the Raiders game. No I'm not the gorilla, I'm the rather "happy" black guy next to him. And before anyone asks, yes I had a margarita. I didn't dump and didn't get drunk. In fact I only drank half!! Lol

      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!

        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.

      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!
