Up until I had my first fill I hadn't a clue where my port was located, as my surgeon only made 1 incision. The NP, who did the fill, showed me where it was, but quite honestly, with all the belly fat, I wasn't sure what I was touching. He had me do a crunch, and then I could feel it. So, if your fill doctor/NP has difficulty finding the port, suggest doing a crunch.

Oh I did, it wasn't that he couldn't find the port, it was that he was making sure it didn't flip and finding the top of it. I felt like I was at the gym, he was "Do a crunch, now hoooooooold it......." then proceeded to poke me and luckily I have been working out because he had me holding the crunch for like 2 mins straight! I said, thanx no need for the gym tonight! LOL.:thumbup:

      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!
