Dr. Brian Lahmann at BMI Surgery - Silver Cross Hospital, New Lenox, Illinois (south suburb of Chicago).

It's a gorgeous, brand new hospital, and the staff couldn't be nicer. Dr. Lahmann and his partner Dr, Christopher Joyce have been doing bariatric surgery for over 10 years. They have the highest ratings.

I had Dr.Fass at Seton Medical Center in Austin Texas. He is very clear about what he will do, very personable, and easy on the eyes. :-) His staff is helpful and competent, his nurse Jenna has gone out of her way to help me multiple times.

I was sleeved May 20th at Lenox Hill Hospital by Dr. Edward Yatco and haven't had one complication. The only thing I HAVE been experiencing is Hair loss which is the norm anyway but otherwise he's a fabulous physician.

I cannot make enough positive comments about Alok Gandhi, D.O. from Rochester General Hospital in Rochester, New York. He is my surgeon and my bride's surgeon. He and his staff and the entire Rochester General team have been absolutely tremendous.

My surgeon is Dr. John Dietrick of Tampa Florida. He is great - does mostly gastric bypass surgeries. So this is his stock and trade. Great program with multiple yr follow up for all his patients. Nutritionist on staff which is included in the fee. He is also capable of fixing other issues he may find - for me a hiatial hernia that I had suffered reflux from for years - now NO REFLUX! Surgery was at Florida Hospital Tampa - trained staff, caring and compassionate. Great experience. Would recommend him to anyone. OH by the way, I am a nurse - we know how to vet out surgeons! We only go with the best! Highly recommend him.

      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!
