My husband and I are flying out of Seattle.. he's excited for a vacation, lol. We're going down the day before or maybe even late the night before that.. I'm not a morning person so getting up early, not being able to eat, and then flying sounds like zero fun, lol.

I'm scheduled with Dr. Kelly for 3/4 and I'm very excited. My best friend went to 'visit' Dr. Kelly back in July and is doing very well and very happy that she had the surgery.

No, but I will probably be driving in from Arizona. it's a 5 hour drive. If I leave at 6am I should be there around 11-12ish. There is a possibility that I may fly if my daughter can't come with me. I have to look up flight times. What time will you be arriving? Are you coming alone?

I will also get there on the 6th!!! I'm super excited!! Do u have to get there at a certain time or after a certain time?

I am using Dr. Garcia in Tijuana, Mexico on 3/28/14 with a friend. My mother-in-law had such great results with him and the facility was so nice you can read about it in my profile. Also my sister-in-laws just Almanza they had no complications but it isn't as nice of a facility as the other. I like the fact this hospital has an ICU and is more of a hospital type atmosphere. There are some great stories on youtube about several places. I am ready for this I almost did last year but I was worried about my mother-in-law she had had some cardiac issues and was just a high risk and I wanted to be her nurse. I am an RN by the way and I just thought it was stupid to pay 20-30 grand for something I could get for 4000-5000.00. I wish I had gotten it done last year when I flew out but you know I think it was wise on my part to check it out before having the surgery myself. I also friended 2 other ladies that where there. I have followed them both with their journeys one was a little older and had some reflux issues but not bad she has no regrets. The other is living it up as a size 4...omg. I am currently a size 20 and I just want to be a mom to my babies.

      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.
