My name is Cheshire, I have been dealing with PCOS since I was about 16 diagnosed with it in 2008. I have been trying to naturally or with diet and exercise to get rid of the almost 150lbs of weight that the doctor says I need to lose to become healthy. After a lot of time and reserach, my husband and I have decided that weight loss surgery is something we need to consider. So here I am going through the pysch visit, doing the sleep study test(tonight until wedensday) and my first visit with the nutrionist next week. I have a surgery date scheduled for Feb8,2016. Was wondering if anyone out there has a similiar story or a surgery date in Feb as well. Can't really talk about it with my family because we all (mom, mother-in-laws I have 2, sisters aunts and uncles dont really see eye to eye on the matter.

      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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
