So of course with you seeing yourself everyday, you don't see the results like others do. I could see the scale moving but I couldn't see the weight gone. Well I decided just for giggles to put on a shirt I used to wear. Loved this shirt and the last time i put it on it was way tight around the belly and made me feel horrible. This was of course pre surgery. Well on it goes and not only does it fit, but it's a bit loose. Now I see it, now I understand and now I can start really acknowledging that not only did I do this, but it is working and it is the best decision I could make. Now all i need is to go back to the doctor for labs so I can see on paper that stopping all my meds after this was a good plan as well. I can't wait to find out what my fasting glucose is or what my BP is. This was right and I am soooo glad I did it.

PS..wearing my shirt anyway, big or not...this one will not go in the clothing swap at support this month cuz its my reminder.....

Congrats! It's the best feeling!! I'm 4 weeks out and cried the first time one of my shirts fit again (hadn't worn it in over a year!) I'm now finding that I need to buy smaller clothes- I think that's going to be even more exciting!! ???? good luck!

      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.
