I'm starting on my journey. I have a surgical date 7/29/08 and my approvall from Horizon BC/BS of NJ I live in Sussex county I travel alot. I am a service rep for a large pump company. I go from Eastern VA up into Canada on the east Coast. All large industrial pumps. I would like to find a mentor to have some one with experiance to talk to about the journey as I go along. My BMI was 43, before the six month weight loss program, and now it is at 40. I need to loose another 60 lbs getting me down to around 200 at 5'8" I am a male (hence the jersey boy moicker), married with two grown children and two fantastic grandchildren. I ride a motorcycle, fish, hunt, and play golf when I have time.

      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!
