thanks so much McQty!

I guess the positive vibes ...well...worked...I loved the seminar. As a matter of fact the seminar was given by the surgeon I choose which was even better got to hear his personality a bit. I had my 1st consult, met him personally. And I am on my way to gather all insurance requirements.

I am really excited now....today I have my psych eval!

yikes...

How is your band doing? How was your surgery experience?

How is your band doing? How was your surgery experience?

My experience was good from what I can tell from others. I had a little trouble after the surgery b/c I was too tight. The Dr had put in 3cc in my band and before you can leave, they make you do a barium shot and then take an xray to make sure they see it's all going down okay. Well mine wasn't moving, so they had my surgeon come back and remove 2cc and leave 1cc in my band. After that it went down w/o a problem. The port pain gets better everyday. Getting up and walking around made me feel better. I went to my reg care physician today just to check in with her and update some of my regualar meds, and I have lost 11 lbs since the day of my surgery. I cannot believe that. Having a little trouble getting in all the Water and Protein I need in a day. Seem to be full all the time. I am going to have to work at that right away. Don't want to lose my hair to to little Protein.< /p>

I am so thrilled and excited to go back to work tomorrow. Being cooped up at home isn't so much fun :(

GOOD LUCK ON THE INSURANCE APPROVAL--will have my fingers crossed that it goes smooth and quickly for you.

      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.

        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.
