Having OP tomorrow 7 Nov



Recommended Posts

I am one year out. My best advice is to sit back, enjoy the ride, and take it all in. It is an amazing adventure. Though you are probably a little scared or nervous, this is all a part of embarking on something truly remarkable. If you are still a little too jittery in the morning, they doctor can always put something in your IV to calm you down while you wait. You will just need to ask because they don't always offer.

Best of luck tomorrow. I know you will do awesome. I am so excited for the amazing journey you are about to go on. Please keep us all updated on your progress!

Thanks Jonathan. You really encouraged me emensly. I'm in South Africa and my twin had the same op by the same Dr so I'm confident in his ability. Will keep you updated. Regards. Verina

      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.
