Recommended Posts

I'm so excited, I finally have my date. It's been a quite a journey, these past few months. I have been able to get rid of 40 pounds, since May. That has help make this process a bit easier. I didn't want to wait for the surgery to begin the process. I would love to hear from someone. Have a blessed day.

My date is 10/19 and I am so ready since I have been working on this since 2013. I am not doing good on my pre-op diet because at the pre-op seminar with the surgeon he said that they found it doesn't matter if you do the diet or not. However, as I have been working with my Bariatric doctor that has always been the plan. My mind now has its own battle going on and the wrong side is winning.

@Lucy...how are you feeling? What would you tell us to expect?

well everyone is different, but I slept most of the first day, I only used my pain pump once I had very little pain, I had to do a lot of walking to get my gas & poop out, getting all the Water down you need is a bit of a struggle, you have to get a swallow test before you start on liquids to be sure you have no leaks, your stay could be anywhere from same day discharge up to staying a couple days, I refuse to be sent home the next day I stayed 2 extra days, lots of do's and don't...pretty much all I can think of right now

      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.
