It's okay.. me too. April seems sooooooo far away. I'm hoping that May will remain my scheduled surgery day...

Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.

I'm scheduled for May 6th.. and my consult is set for April 16th 2013. The surgical coordinator told me my diet forms weren't filled out correctly so she advised me to start over to assure everything was documented right...that set me back a whole month. Instead of being finish with my diet early April I will be done early May... I don't know if they'll allow me to go ahead and show up for consult that scheduled day or if they will push the date back to allow me to completely finish then come for consult in May... It sucks so frikken bad that I have to be above 40 at consult... I wish I could weight in then do the diet... nerve wrecking.

I've been battling weight for a number of years.. however my doctors didn't go into detail in their doctors notes about my weight loss attempts and treatment options .....and they also weren't consecutive on top of all that. They want 6 months of an attempted/ and failed supervised diet... once they have evidence of that they will consider approval... and of course must be 40 or above at consult or there wont be a party going on. lol

The Lord has his way of doing things, and when he does,it will be done right... We must practice patience...that's all.

      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.
