NFaith and IMWITHTHEBAND....CONGRATS! On making the decision to a new and healthier you!!:smile2:

I did not have any problem w/ the hospital staff but you MUST as questions. The nurse kept wanting to give me the blood thinner but I told her that I did not need it and to check w/ the dr first. Dr Laker then came right in to see me and told me I did not need it.

Just from my experience...Shannon has the most knowledge of the three cordinator. Weiner is more conservative about fills then Laker. I really like Laker, he takes his time and ask you questions that are important to determine how much fill you need. Good luck and PM me if you have any questions. I'll be glad to share with you.

just an informal update... i am doing great and excited for fish.. i am also noticing increased hunger and less restriction...increasing everyday...im currently eating about 1/3 to 1/2 of what i used to eat in a sitting... so im incredibly happy!! it is so weird i feel totally full and satisfied on so much less than before...its like a no brainer diet... make the appropriate food choices and win win win!! so i cant wait for my first fill november 5th...

also... im going to stick with dr. weiner for my first fill... he was my surgeon and is fabulous so far... even called me personally when i left a msg about acid reflux with the coordinator... great dr... great place to have the surgery!! but yes... make sure you are well informed before you go... on everything!! and question everything you think may be wrong...

      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.

      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!
