I had my first consultation the 28th of February and I’ll be having my first support group (required in CT) next week and I’ll have my first referral appointment with a radiology to do some testing (swallowing a chalky substance?) .. it looks like after all the required visits and submission to insurance I’ll be looking at the end of July early Aug. I went through all of this back in 2015 and backed out when submitted to insurance (I got scared out of it) and I regret it because I’ve only struggled even more since then. Definitely following through this time and I’m looking forward to reaching goals with you guys ! [emoji5]

A ways off but you have time to set down good habits that will benefit you on surgery day and beyond. Reduce your portion sizes, give up colas, sugery drinks, cut back on caffeine until. you can give it upI increase your exercise level even if you have to start by more walking, biking or going to,the gym. Can't afford a gym membership? Walk at the mall. Learn all you can about your future procedure, a calm mind is a happy mind. And enjoy your journey. Any questions? Just ask, we're full of experiences and,live to help.[emoji12][emoji173][emoji12]

      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!
