Ok so I started the process on January 26. Had my first EGD done and then started my pre op diet so I would be ready after the results came in. The week before my surgery my results came back with some disorder that I could not have the surgery. I was insistent that something could be done. So I was put on high dose nexium for 30 days and then a second EGD was done. It showed I was healing so I was cleared! The whole time I stayed on a kind of diet so I could avoid stomach acid flare up. Finally I got a date but it was still 3 weeks away. But I stuck to it. And when the surgery date came my surgeon Had not seen me in almost 90 days. When he saw I lost 30 pounds on my own he said I would be great after surgery. It has been a bitch but I have lost 70 pounds total.

Starting weight 372

Surgery date 4/25/16

Weight 339

Today 6/25/16 weight 302

I am 8 weeks post op. So I still weigh my food. Drink my Protein. Don't eat 30 before or after.

      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!
