Well I'm on my way for an EGD...the test alone is not scary but what my Dr might decide. This is revisional for me band to sleeve. I had the band 2007 lost about 85 pounds but went through some traumatic times in a short period of time. Was married to an abuser I had lost a good amount in a short time got pregnant with twins was punched hard multiple times in the stomach lost one baby to a miscarriage and then the other to etopic pregnancy...father diagnosed with cancer died 6 months later. Fractured my arm near my elbow but husband wouldn't let me go to the hospital till it already started healing....by February 2008 he went to jail and I got to rebuild my life...took a couple times of homelessness and unemployed to be where I am.....in a much better place...the band had me over restricted so much so that I had it removed in 2010. Unfortunately I gained all my weight back... my whole point is that the dr is hesitating if it has been eroded...I just need prayers...I need a do over...I've suffered relentlessly and Ive been researching and I'm ready and wanting to do this for the right reasons....please pray that he will see the possibilities of doing this surgery....thank you for listening....

      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.

      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!
