Oh yeah. I spoke with Cheryl who scheduled the surgery. She was gonna put me in for Sept! But I told her I had just (yesterday!) booked and confirmed reservations for the last weekend in Sept. for a small trip for myself and my hubby. A much needed get away at that. I didn't want to be sore or anything since this will be my last chance to get away this year. So she scheduled it for the week after! Yahoo!!

I was just banded on Friday, 4/18. I had been seeing Psychologist and Dietician since 8/06. Took me forever to make the decision to go forward but once I did, everything came together very quickly. I saw Dr Haag on 1/31 and was approved by HNE on 3/25. I've had no problems with the office staff yet; they've called me back in a reasonable time.

Did anyone else have a post-op before the 6 week period?

I had my surgery Nov. 2008, with Dr, Haag. I have had nothing but positive things to say about him and the office. Dr. Haag has always been great with me giving me encouragement the whole time. I am very close to my goal now, and am actually finding it a little harder now to drop these last few pounds. That is why I came to this site for help! About the office.. don't get discouraged, just keep on calling, because the end result is sooooo worth it!:blink:

      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.

        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!
