If all goes well with my psych appointment and visit with the surgeon this week, I'm hoping to have mine at Temple by the end of this year....how much are you hoping to lose?

Temple is actually really close to where I live but I've been going to Jefferson for years so I figured I'd get my stuff done there. I'm hoping to get a date by the end of the year or beginning of January at the latest. If I could lose at least 75lbs, I'll be happy

Well, best of luck to you! I had to reschedule both of my appts because I woke up a hour AFTER I was supposed to be at my pysch appt.....Now that appointment isn't till the end of Dec 2016 and the surgeon is in Jan 2017......hoping that I'll get a date by the end of Jan 2017 tho....going on a cruise in April 2017! I started at 220lbs (size 16/18), am now at 208lbs (14)-hoping to lose whatever I need to be a size 8/10 or even a 6/8! I'm only 5'2", so that'll be a nice change!

@@ladygg1967 not sure who the question was for but I'm doing alright. I'm 8 days post op. Gas pain is gone (thank God) and now just feel "uncomfortable" but not in too much discomfort if that makes any sense. Now I'm just trying to deal with this rash I've developed around my incisions and on the sides of my belly.

      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!
