I am here in deep east Texas. Close to Texarkana. Sleeved 12/4/12, down 14 lbs and have already stalled a week with weight loss, but am losing inches. 23 lbs down from my 1 week preop weight of 309.

I'm from Bryan,Tx. I had surgery in Houston, Dr. Erik Wilson. Awesome Dr!, so glad I had the surgery!! Surgery was on Nov 19th, down 48lbs since pre-op. Its very hard to get in all the liquids., I've had an ER visit for dehydration. Felt so much better after the IV's!

I think i am finally drinking enough Water to stay well hydrated. It took some effort to get here. I was motivated by all of the comments i see here corelating good wieght loss with water intake.

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
