Thanks for the welcome.

I am doing great. I was put on full liquid diet yesterday, because I was loosing too fast.

My surgical experience was easy. I was sore for a couple of days, but feel almost back to normal. I had almost no bruising, and my incisions look all healed up. All this in only 5 days.

15 pounds down- 79 to go.

I am in Eufaula, so that is not far from you.

So far I have done wonderful- except for the first few days I have felt great. The first few days I had a lot of gas- from the surgery, after that I was fine- hope you feel better soon, if I can help just holler- I am Jo, and if you need to talk to someone I can call you, o send my number and you can call me.

My cell phone is with Verizon-334-695-6615

      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!
