Recommended Posts

I had surgery with Dr. Papasavas 8/6/13... It went well, I have not been sick at all!

That sounds great. Sounds like you had a great recovery and I hope my recovery is as successful as yours. Dr. Papasavas is my surgeon as well.

It's going awesome. I've lost 40lbs since I started the whole process in June. Since surgery my activity levels have improved. I went out dancing last weekend and was able to dance 3 songs with out getting tired. Which was a new for me I was lucky to get thru 1/2 of 1.

I have my appointment scheduled for Jan 6th, decided against a pre-holiday surgery. I am having it done with Dr. Tishler, so far very happy - any comments about him? The office seems great and very supportive. :)

      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!
