Recommended Posts

I'm arriving in TJ on the 3rd and getting surgery on the 4th at the OCC with Dr Ariel Ortiz. I am staying at the Marriott.

I am going alone so just wondering if anyone else will be there at that time too.

Hi debwin! Sorry it took so long to reply, I was away for work.

How is your pre-op diet going? I am from BC (Canada). I might postpone my date though. I just got a promotion at work and I need to fly to our head office for training 3 weeks after surgery. I don't think this is realistic. If my body responds well to the surgery and to drinking all my fluids, it could work but that's if everything goes perfect. I don't know that 3 weeks is enough time to rest and recover though. I'll have to make a decision by tonight so I can change arrangements asap.

How is your pre-op going??? Are you getting excited, nervous, both?

      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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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.
