Having surgery on Wednesday, you've given me so much hope for a excellent recovery...

Good luck to you, Mimi!

But more important than luck, please listen to and follow all the directions of your surgeon and surgery coordinator and you will be fine.

I wish I had my VSG surgery sooner, but fear and nervousness kept me from pursuing it.

I'm so happy you're going to be joining the journey with the rest of us! You're going to do FANTASTIC!

Keep us all updated on your progress, and just remember, we can all do this!

Don't look back, turn the page, and let your next chapter begin!

It will be over before you know it. When I first awakened after surgery I was in a state of shock because I honestly thought the surgeon had somehow pulled out at the last minute and decided not to do the surgery procedure, because I wasn't feeling any kind of pain.

My surgeon actually walked over to me and confirmed that he did indeed do the surgery and everything went very well. I eventually felt a little soreness at the incision sites but that was very bearable.

Of course, I know people sometimes have complications, but what's a safer place to have a complication than an actual hospital.

I believe you're gonna totally ROCK this!:-)

Don't look back, turn the page, and let your next chapter begin!

      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.
