Hi everyone, I had my surgery on 08/01/12, I'm down 75 pounds and feel great ! I just found out yesterday that I have a Hernia just above my navel. I was just wondering if anyone else had this happen and if you had surgery how long was the recovery? Thanks

I had a hatial hernia fixed dyring my RNY surgery also, my doctor knew I had that, this hernia I have now is caused by the surgery in my stomach,

I only like Splenda.

YES !!! I had this before and after surgey, it was horrible, just keeping brushing, mouth wash.. it will go away

I have the same thing, when I push on it it makes a squishy popping noise ! did you do anything about your hernia ?

Not so much as pain, but when I sneeze, cough, blow my nose, I feel a popping on the inside of my navel, and my stomach gets a little extended and I can feel the bulge.

My opinion on this is based on years of yo-yo dieting, I finally said enough is enough . No matter what amount we need to loose, there are other underling Heath issues that will be cleared up. Everyone has different amounts to loose, we are here because we have all struggled wether it is 70 or 200 pds. Good luck to all.

Awesome !!!

Wonderful !!!! You can see a difference, you are doing great !

You look fantastic !!!

Sounds like your body did not like what you drank, I experience the late dumping, I can eat something for dinner and then 12 hours later my body tells me she does not like it !!, maybe the drink had to much sugar ? hope your feeling better.

Ok, I'm sorry if anyone gets grossed out by this, but I need to know if anyone else has gone thru this. This morning after getting up for work, I went in the bathroom and was having a BM that turned into diarrhea, that then turned into sweating,shaking and feeling really sick to my stomach. I then began to vomit, but it was just dry heaves and spit coming out it was about 10mins of this. It had been at least 12 hours since I had eaten anything, and what I had for dinner was the same thing I had the night before with no problems. Just wondering if any one else experienced this, I was really upset and scared that something was wrong.

I spoke with my doctor today, he seems to think that it is late dumping, he says that every one handles this differntly. I seem to be having issues with any type of meat protiens, chicken, ground beef, ground turkey. He said at this point he would be more concerned if I was not keeping any liquids down. I feel better that I have talked to him. Thanks everyone

Thank you so much for your input,I have never been diabetic, I did call my doctor, just waiting for a call back. I guess I can still have low blood sugar without being a diabetic ?

I did see his post on that, was a little confused because he said a couple of hours, mine was over 12 !! I quess I need to keep track of what I'm eating at night.

I thought so too, but 12 hours later !!!

No the last I ate was around 7:30 pm the night before, this has happened before ,but never with the vomiting It seems Like if food does not work for me it does not happen till hours later. I was scared to really eat any thing today, so I had 2 protien shakes , some cheese & some ricotta cheese with sauce and a small bit of angel hair Pasta for dinner, I'm hoping this will sit well.

Wow, wonderful, keep up the great job !!

You could also call the insurance and ask what exactly is the hold up.

I was thinking the same thing, the insurance company may need additional information from your doctor's office. I would go to the doctor's and speak directly to them. Good luck.

I am the same way, I'm only 7 weeks out, and I make my self eat for energy & protien !

You look fantastic !! keep up the great work
