PaperBullets,

I hope all went well today and you are recovering nicely. Please let us know.

Dr. Yoo is my doctor too. I haven't yet decided if I am doing a band to sleeve revision yet. When you feel better, please PM me with your thoughts and experiences.

Thanks!

I went through Mission Weight Management in Asheville. Dr. Irani did my surgery one week ago today. They are amazing there. I am very pleased with my whole experience through them. They have some of the top surgeons in the state as well as doctors, nutritionists, physical therapists, and support staff. I really liked that Dr. Irani was a women. I didn't really matter at first, but I'm glad because now I feel more comfortable. I also saw Dr. Chris Edwards too and he's hands down one of the best.

Me too @ mission weight!! They are indeed fantastic!! When I called to tell them I called and had an approval from cigna I was crying sooo hard. She let me cry and was genuinely happy and thrilled for me. Saying this was the best part of her job. The surgeons at Regional Surgical are great. I have heard great about Dr. Irani. My mom worked in the OR with the others and was confortable with any of them, but I choose Dr. W. Allen Bradshaw. He is sooo great and understanding. I had my gall bladder removed by a surgeon no longer at his practice and he left sludge in me putting me back in the hospital for a week. Dr. Bradshaw took care of me then. Great bedside manor. And he's HOT!!! Haha! I'm getting sleeved Aug 22. Excited!!

Hi, Dr. Adolfo Fernandez at Wake Forest Baptist Health in Winston Salem will be doing my sleeve. He did my band placement ! He is awesome and has a wonderful and comprehensive team ! They are a blue cross blue shield center of excellence too so I know that helps with some insurance approvals. Hope this helps dde01

Considering dr. Fernandez myself but haven't heard a whole lot on him. He's close to home for me.

I am 3 weeks post op with Vilanuejva. I see him in Ballantyne with Carolinas Weight Management. I absolutely love him and the staff. He has been great to work with and no, he doesn't send you home with a drain.

      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!
