Hi.

I am having mine done in Mexico on October 25. Very nervous and excited. What doctor did you have? Any advice for someone about to take the plunge?

I had Dr Kuri do it and I wouldn't change it for the world. He is in Tijuana. Hospital is really nice. Do take with you Shampoo and conditioner if you use it. Who are you going with? The surgery is really not painful. Don't forget a pillow it you are flying after surgery. I have lost 15 and 1/2 lbs so far.

Look forward to chatting with you.

Thanks for the advice!! I'm going to doctor Aceves in the Hospital Angeles. I'm going with my friend Lori who is also getting banded and my sister who is going to be the support person for both of us. My sister is actually sponsoring my whole surgery--isn't that incredible?! Weight-related health problems run in our family and she wants me to live longer. I don't know what I'll ever do to repay her!!

How long did you wait to go back to work? I am getting surgery on Thursday and have to work Monday. Am a little nervous because I'm not telling anyone but my support people and my husband about it. Did you let everyone know what you were doing?

Your success so far is inspiring. What is the hardest part?

We were at the same hospital just different doctors. I work from home but as long as you don't have any trouble you should be able to work on monday. Only my family knew. My sister and I had it done at the same time. We were not told about the pre op diet. Dr Kuri said that I should have been on one before the surgery so I have lost 15 since the surgery. He computer question how do you get the ticker from ticker.com over to this sight?

      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.
