I am currently in the process of trying to book with DR Mitchell in Vancouver, I have a friend that was banded by him and she said he was excellent, very kind and very understanding. Good luck on your journey!

Dr Mitchell is great and the staff at SWLC work hard to make surgery a good experience. Dr Phil (aka Dr Mitchell) was recommended to me by my family doctor (she did her surgical residency with him) and said he is a very good surgeon. My family doctor was also really impressed with my post-surgical scars (she said Dr Phil did a very good job). I have seen him once since surgery and he is personable and answered all my questions. I will be seeing him next week for another follow-up and I look forward to the visit. I hope this answers your questions.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
