Finally my first appointment with Dr. Groves!



Recommended Posts

Well - I did it - I had my first visit with Dr. Groves and got my stacks of papers for doing my hoop jumps for Blue Cross Blue Shield. I don't know why I get so nervous, I thought all day yesterday I woulld just call and reschedule like the last time. I am a bit excited, but I thought I would get to talk to the nutritionist and the physical therapist today - silly me thought they were all in the same place. I was lucky though, got both booked for this Wednesday - YIPPEE! I didn't realize that they would need to take my picture fronton and then a sideview, I hope that is the last big picture of me to be taken and that I will be on the road to a healthier me ! My knees are in heaven just thinking about carrying around LESS of ME!! lol I've known that Dr. Groves was the one for me as soon as I met him , and today's visit just confirmed my first impression!

Thanks for letting me vent, hubby doesn't want to hear anything about it so I am so thankful to have found this forum.

Big Smiles!

Dr. Groves is so very nice and so is Amy in the front office, but there were a couple of ladies that must have been having a rough Monday for sure.

      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.
