gemini0621 I live in West Houston area too. I am scheduled for surgery on Sept 30th with True Results. A good chewable acid reducer is Pepcid Complete. I think Walgreen, CVS, Target & Walmart have their generic versions.

@@divasheart Thank you! Who is your surgeon?

I'm west of Houston but will be doing my surgery with Dr St Laurent as well. Adore the staff, they're so awesome

I have 1 more predetermination appointment for the 6 month insurance requirement to go and then we get to the nitty gritty with scheduling and everything.

I have a known hiatal hernia, and when I was pregnant with my girls I couldn't take extra meds, so I discovered apple cider vinegar for heartburn. Yeah, ACV is nasty tasting but a quick swig chased with Water will be your friend.

Dr. St. Laurent is amazing! I was just sleeved on the third and he was so nice! Saw him and talked before surgery, after surgery, then the next day before I left. And I've emailed him asking him questions and he responds very quickly! Just love him!!

      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.
