I feel great! The beginning was a little rough for me. Back in October I had severe pain and nausea, so back in the hospital over the long weekend, they found 3 ulcers. I've always had reflux and Gerd so I thought that was it. The doctor

put me on a stronger dose of protonix and I've been great ever since. I never regret having the surgery!!!

My surgery was may 1st so almost 4 weeks. I am doing pretty well, still have a jp drain in because of the revision and have nasty drainage that's still coming but I feel great. As of last Wednesday I was down 26lbs (I am adamant about only weighing once a week). No regrets so far. How about everyone else?

      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.
