My license was due to expire on Wednesday, so I went in specifically to get my picture updated. Even the loss prior to surger showed a noticeable difference in my face.

Soooo, I go in and they are asking me all these questions. In the past, I only got the has anything changed question.

This time when the representative asked my weight, I whispered my new weight. Hahaha. It was 1 pound lower than what had been entered on my license for at least the last 10 years, a number that I hadn't been in at least that long or longer.

That was one of the highlights of my day...the other driving to Michigan by mistake because I missed by exit. Oh well, who cares....Ahaha.

      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!
