I will tell you that this is the best thing I could have ever done. With the best surgeon I could have ever found. It is totally different than the band. I actually get FULL and not UNCOMFORTABLE like with that dam plastic thing inside of me. I will give you one tip. I was feeling REALLY good one week post op. Then 10 days out I started to get pain right where the band was and where the port had been. I freaked out because it was "new" pain. I called the office and they told me that it was more than likely residual pain from the band removal. After 4 days of Tylenol I felt way better. But I was positive I had a leak or some other horrible thing. Nope. Just the band giving me one. Last. Headache. ???? good luck!!! See ya on the losers bench!

      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.
