My name is Sarah. I'm 29, and I am a law student. I am married and have 1 child. I am excited to proceed with my surgery. I meet with the surgeon on July 17 and will schedule my surgery at thst time. my insurance approval was very easy, weight management for 6 months, psyc eval, and wellness check up prior to the appointment.

I expect to lose 90-115 pounds total. I am excited for this change in my life. The food restrictions will be easy because I really eat healthy alreaxy. I gained a great deal of weight after being diagnosed with Cushing's. I put on 80 pounds as a result, and I had 20 pounds from after pregnancy. My husband was deployed and I made unhealthy food choices after my son was born. Now my son is 8 and I am tired of the slow progress after Cushing's. I have a few comorbidities: back issues and hypertension. I am trying to avoid getting diabetes, and am looking to reclaim my life. I am very excited to have the ability to more forward with my surgery.

      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.
