Finally, got a new surgery date no thanks to Covid-19. Was suppose to go from sleeve to gastric bypass, along with fixing a hiatal hernia on 4/1, which I so need. I’m over pain & acid reflux. So fingers crossed 6/24, is it. 🤞🤞Not how I wanted to spend summer, but it’s better then not at all, looking at the positive side of it. Who knows where I live summer could be cancelled to. 🙂

I feel you. I started being in major pain a year ago, took 6 months for them to figure out the problem was my old VGB. Then with COVID -19, I finally have surgery scheduled next week on the 27th. Good luck and blessings.

Congrad-s Enjoy the journey and No clue why summer has anything to do with it - But Sunshine and Healthy seems like a good combo to me

Good Luck. I’m still on the fence but my situation is unique. Had a bypass 27 years ago and reversed it 5 months after due to malabsorption issues. I literally had a nervous breakdown. I was 345 at the start and 250 at reversal. I’m now 275, 5 ft 8 and 54 years old. Doc says I have a mass in my stomach from PPIs and a 10cm Hiatel hernia which is super large...he says bypass only option To fix all but I don’t want it. I’m so scared and feel like no one can help. Want to lose weight on my own, just lost 40 lbs. but even if I do, the hiatel hernia need to be fixed and Nissen Fundoplication I hear is not 100%. Can’t believe my predicament.

      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!
