I was sleeved 2/29/16 and was excited but extremely anxious about my surgeon appt as well.

Everyone is different but for me VSG surgery was life changing.

It gave me my life back, I am no longer bound by my weight or health issues and I no longer avoid the mirror or cameras.

Shopping is now fun and extremely addictive lol I've also noticed that people treat you differently, they are much more willing to help now, especially men hahaha

My relationship with my family, specifically my husband is better then ever, he actually just told me he is falling in love with me all over again and after 25 years of marriage, that's music to my ears

I am just shy of a 100 pound weight loss and this has given me a new lease on life. I am doing things I never imagined I would, such as riding with my husband on the back of his Harley Davidson and absolutely loving it !!!

I am exercising and enjoying it, my energy level is thru the roof. I am much more social, I now love meeting and talking with new people.

These are just a few of my changes and I'm sure you will have a long laundry list of your own post op. Take lots of progress pics a long the way and good luck on your journey hang on and enjoy the ride !!

      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.
