Hello everyone,

I am new here and just wanted to introduce myself. I'm a 26 year old female from NH. I am 5'4 and my current weight is 241. I am going to be getting the gastric bypass. I have no co-morbidities so I am moving through the program rather quickly I start my 6 week lifestyle changes class that is required on Thursday. The only things I have left to do before setting a surgery date are a psych eval. And one more pre-op support group. Then I get to meet with the surgeon and set a date! I am beyond excited but a bit nervous all at once. I do have support from family and friends. I am so ready to start a better healthier life for me and my family. Thanks for reading. I love reading all the stories on here :-) feel free to chat!

Welome, @! I've only been on here a couple of months - started hanging out when I was waiting for my insurance approval - and I've found it to be incredibly helpful throughout the past couple of months. Good to have you here. Ask anything - there is basically nothing off limits. Cheers!

      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.
