Scheduled mine for 5/24 after paying for expedited service on my passport. Supposed to be in my mail within two weeks... Fingers crossed!

I am planning on around that time also with Dr Ortiz. I am nervous about scheduling due to the fact that I dont have a passport and dont know how long it will take to come in.

While I would certainly recommend getting a passport, if only for the peace of mind value, I did not have one and had no problem whatsoever getting back into the US. I was, however, armed with as much documentation as I could lay my hands on. Getting back into the states without one is done all the time.

I just wanted to say congratulations and good luck to all of my Fellow May sleevers! Some of you are just days away from the beginning of your transformation while others of us are a few weeks away. I hope those of you who are due for surgery any day now will keep the rest of us posted! We will be looking forward to hearing about your surgery and your progress!

      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.
