Hi everyone. So I just made it home from my appointment. It was slightly over 2hrs. long. The surgeon, psychiatrist and the dietitian all remarked that I seemed very well informed.

My surgeon also said it was totally possible to have the surgery before school started, it all depends on my insurance (I totally called that one). He said within the week he would send me an email with a few things his team required. I would have to complete them then he would submit it to my insurance company

Also I do have to complete a sleep study and I didn't need a letter from my PCP they take care of that.

I am so excited the team was super super nice. Everyone seemed to completely get it.

I attended the information seminar on 2/11/16 and my surgery is scheduled for 6/30. I also work for the schools and wanted to do it during the summer. It just took 4 1/2 months to jump through all the hoops my doctor's office requires. I didn't have to do a supervised diet.

I asked my insurance to mail me the requirements for BS and luckily a supervised diet is not a requirement. I plan on going in being brutally honest and proving I'm committed to this life change and hopefully my appointments can be mad as close together as possible. June 8 I have an appointment with the surgeon, the nutritionist and I have the psychological evaluation. I have fingers and toes crossed. Thank you for taking the time to read and respond to my post

      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.
