Wow, good for you! You look amazing. I am still fighting to get surgery approved. It makes me happy to read success stories.

I just hit 50 so I will start by introducing myself here. I am preop having gastric bypass on September 16 in Denver. I have been stalking a lot of posts on the site and there is so much great information here.

Yes that was what he was explaining to me he wanted to make sure of size and where exactly it was and they want to check my esophagus because I have chronic GERD I prayer that it does not interfere with my surgery. Thank you for your comments and support I know you are happy acid reflex is horrible. I really like this program they cover everything including your mind setting you up for success the only thing I don't like is that it takes such a long time

I had GERD pretty bad for years and sick multiple times a week due to past vertical banding.

My revision to RNY went well, and the GERD is gone and I can now eat healthy foods and have no more issues---It feels so good.

Hope it works as well for you.

Thank you I am hoping it helps to because I have suffered with this for many years now and it appears the healthy foods i like trigger it broccoli is one an cucumbers another. And now for the last week and a half I have not lost a lb I am getting discouraged I don't know what to do to get the scale moving again i don't want my support group thinking I am not trying because I am and I haven't changed much in what I am eating except eating more vegetables since the garden is now producing the fruits of my labor

      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!
