I'm anxious and nervous first Dr. Appt set up. I had to wait since they're so backed up. A co-worker of mine said enjoy your last meal and get ready for this ride. She gave me this site as a great place to conversate, and join the journey

Welcome!! Don't be scared, it is good! I, also, had to wait, but the wait is okay! Did you d o the seminar, yet? I had lots of online things to fill out before I could schedule my 1st appointment. Then, I had to endure 6 months of preparation appointments. With teh visit to teh nutrionist, and teh appointments, I lost about 25 lbs in the 6 months. It was great kick start for me! Anyway, just wanted to say, "Hi" and welcome to our forum! Karen..aka..kll724

Congrats on starting your journey!! I'm not too far into mine; I just received approval from my insurance company a few days ago and let me tell you, that is an amazing hurdle to pass! Good luck with everything and feel free to ask if you have any questions :)

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
