Feeling ok. Im anxious to lose weight but have to remember my body just went through major surgery and needs time to heal. The best thing you can do is walk after surgery. You will feel relief when that gas stars being released from your body. Been drinking Water and Protein Shakes. Havent quite been able to drink all of the required 64 oz of liquid daily. However, im still trying. Incisions dont hurt unless you over exert urself which i was on the brink of doing today. Its ur insides that are trying to adjust themselves back into ur body that is uncomfortable. But manageable. Good luck! If you have any questions, dont hesitate to ask.

Well pre op diet was hard, but after about the 5th day my body adjusted as best it could. But i started my pre op diet on jan 2nd to try to lose as much as possible because i weighed over 500 lbs. so when i came to surgery date i weighed about 40 lbs less and under 500 lbs, by far one of the best feelings ever. Lol so i was concerned about time off as well. I wouldnt b getting paid for it. So im trying to get temp disability. I got a Dr note until the 10th of Feb. Had surgery on Jan 28th. I have a post op appt with Dr. lamar on the 9th to remove staples from my incisions and check progress before i return to work the following day. All in all i had a really great experience with Dr. lamar and his staff.

So happy for you

I'm still saving money for the surgery. After the 6 months of nutrition and counseling my insurance won't cover any more.

Yea that would be great. I would also like to know about your journey. I have been researching and waiting years for this. Along with trying to still lose weight on my own. I had my pre op appt with Dr. lamar on Oct 15th, then after that started getting all my pre op tests done that he ordered then 3 and a half months later i had surgery, stay positive. Takes time but well worth the wait.

      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!
