Consultation Appointment



Recommended Posts

I got the shock of my life today when I called the surgeons office. This process has been so slow for me, that I just expected it to continue to be a slow process. I have finally finished my nut visits and the psychological eval, so I called the surgeons office to schedule my consultation appointment. After being placed on hold for a bit, I was told that my appointment will be set for May 23rd! I was not expecting to get an appointment with him in 4 days!!! I am both excited and nervous knowing that this is the appointment when I will hopefully learn my surgery date. All of a sudden after months and months of waiting it just feels like it is all happening too fast. I am starting to feel like I am so not ready for all of it. I have not even started my list of questions for him! I am so thankful to have found this community, I have been lurking and reading for a while and have learned so much from everyone here!

      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.
