Hi, saw your post. I recently had my VSG surgery on 8/15/2014. I think my stats are very close to yours. Pre op weight 239, 5'4" (still think I am 5'5") BMI 41.0.

Today my weight was 232.5. My Husband did his sugery on 7/12/15. He is down 33lbs.

I think it would be great to have a buddy through this journey. So far all is well and feeling pretty good.

Good luck with your surgery. I blew it up more in my head than I needed to. It was actually a great experience.

Let me know what you think.

Just wanted to drop you a quick note to check in on you. I'm not sure if you a home yet. Here's hoping all is well, and surgery and recovery are going well. Biggest piece of advice I can give you right now is drink, drink, drink. I have already found myself dehydrated. Really not used to drinking all day long. Used to just chug a glass of Water just to say that I drank Water. Now it takes my significantly longer to even get down 1 glass. Literally having to remind myself to drink. Im figuring it out. When you get a chance drop me a quick note to let me know how you are doing. Also, here is my cell in case its easier to text. 480-329-1005.

      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.
