Hey Michell...how are you doing so far? I am doing great other than bouts with acid reflux..i sure hope it goes away after time and isn't a permanent issue.

Hello Curious!! Doctors in our area don't know much about the Vertical Sleeve and there is about a 6 year waiting list to have it done in British Columbia so that is why I had my surgery in Mexico. I would highly recommend Dr. Fernando Garcia and The Mi Doctor Hospital in Tijuana. Dr. Garcia did the surgery for my sister, a friend, and myself the same day and we are all doing fantastic and losing weight as expected.

Hi snoozeyoulose. I'm doing great too. I also have some acid issues, but after trying a few different things, my doctor finally put me on Prevacid and that seems to be doing the trick. I've lost 37 lbs. so far. Still having trouble getting everything in, but that's gradually getting better. I'm still amazed and very thankful this is the surgery I chose! Glad to hear you're doing so well, too.

      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!
