I was ... 3 years ago. Who is your surgeon?

Mine was Umbach. Let me tell you, it was hot. I don't know if you have ever been in desert climates in the summer, but it is nothing short of amazing if you have never acclimated to that type of climate. Even before your surgery, be sure to stay well hydrated. I thought it was great, though, as there is plenty of air conditioned casino space to walk and walk and walk and sip and sip and sip ...

Winner! Winner! pureed chicken Dinner!!

Sergey lyass is my surgeon. I live here so I do know how hot it is lol. Been here since 1987 and still run and hide from the heat hang out at the mall or the theater. Sometimes it is so hot there's power outages. We Were going to try to plan a camping trip during August maybe to get out of here.

I have to go to Vegas in July for business. On my birthday no less. I will be packing my own meals and plan on using the pool while I'm there.

And the blackjack tables. ;)

I wish you a healthy surgery, and speedy recovery!

Be well…

Ah yes, the rolling blackouts. My mother lives in Palm Desert, so they have them there, too.

I used to live in Palm Desert, as well, and I know the July heat, as do you. My wife has been down to the desert, but always in the spring. Hot, but nothing like July. She has never had to acclimate to those conditions and it was quite uncomfortable for her, coming from the Great NorthWest. You can say, yes, it is a dry heat, but 115 degrees is just uncomfortable.

Good luck and keep us updated. As I understand it, there are a few good support groups in the Vegas area. Have you searched the BP site for info?

Not really . I think I need to go on my computer and search around and learn how to maneuver around rather than my phone. There are things that are available that I cannot do on my phone I understand. Like add friends. Thanks for the info though

      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.
