Hi

I was referred here by someone I met on another website. I am interested in gaining knowledge and information regarding this procedure. It has taken me more than a year to get my PCP on board with this surgery as he seems to think that diet and exercise are the only safe way to lose weight. Unfortunately, diet hasnt worked and I have no luck with exercise due to medical issues. I have so many medical issues that make this surgery a way to change my life and I am very interested in everyone elses experiences.

Anyone interested in sharing their stories, please contact me. I am not sure how to start the process of finding a doctor although I have spent most of today online researching.

Thanks for your help and good luck to everyone!

      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!
