How are you guys and gals feeling about it?

I'm desperate to get it over with now. Am starting to worry that I may be one of the small percentage that has complications...but I think that's just nerves kicking in. Anyone else feeling that way?

I personally know of one person who has had complications (requiring two additional surgeries) and is still happy with her decision to have WLS. She looks and feels great!

I also know of only one who had complications and she had other issues before that came into play.

I have done the same liquid diet a year ago for 12 weeks and lost over 30 lbs. It's fine, because I also get to eat a few veggies and limited extra Protein like eggs, chicken, turkey...

My goal for the 4 weeks was set at 5-10% loss. It should work out.

I live in Finland so the health care system is very different. I only pay for the visits to the hospital and hospital stay, the rest is free for me. Due to this system, they are very strict with meeting all criterias for surgeries. We have a few extra in regards to wls.

      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.
