Hi Everyone!!! I have been stalking this group for months but made the decision to become a healthier me on October 8. I had my first visit with surgeon on October 15. I also completed all my pre required testing by October 26. Got a call from my surgeons office today and they sent my paperwork into insurance company which is UHC. So nervous ????????????but excited ????????hopefully I can get a date of December if I am approved. No I am going to say when I am APPROVED! !! So if anyone can help with my nerves I will appreciate it. And of course I have many questions going through my head but I won't burdened yall with that lol. Look forward to talking with my new friends on this journey ☺

      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.
