Congrats! The first two weeks after the surgery is pain, but I was okay. The first four weeks of liquids after was very painful to bear, but you can make it through that also. You can do it!

I go change from one moment to the next: nervous, excited, feeling I have done tons of research so I am sure about my choice, to plan our fear.

I know this is the right choice and know that I can not continue down the path I am heading. For now I do not have any other health issues but I know that before long I will. I am tired of being fat and not living my life. I want to be a better mom and wife. I want to live my life and not always not want to do so many things because of my weight. :incazzato:

I'm excited and nervous all at the same time too! To be real the complication rate is very low less than 2%, heck those are pretty good odds if you ask me and good or bad, everything happens for a reason...I think we would all rather go through this process than be fat anymore...that is why we are here right? We have tried everything else and it didn't work. My mom had a bad knee she had surgery to fix it, I don't see a big difference. My head/stomach hunger is broken so I am getting it fixed. If you had a bad liver or heart you would get it fixed, right? I think we are all doing what we need to do to become happier and healthier so block out the fear and focus on the positives, it will help you heal faster, just my several cents :thumbup:) All the best to everyone! Take care and God Bless you all...

      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!
