How was your experience with Dr. Rod? I am going there next month for VSG. Anything I need to know about the hospital, staff or just anything.

I loved Dr. Rod!! I would tell anyone and everyone to go to him! I have a blog post that had info I can send you. The hospital is like a resort and the staff is amazing! I know a very limited amount of Spanish but I just used the list they gave me. I would point to what I wanted in English and they would look on the other side to read it in Spanish. My main issue was gas pain so Gas-X and a heating pad were my bestfriends. When I was in pain the gas-x was amazing at getting that gas pain to go away. If there is anything else you want to know feel free to email me!

Thank you so much! I'm glad I did It too. I know I'm young but my sister waited til her 40s to have her's and she told me if she had known she wouldn't have waited. I honestly thought the smallest I could get was an 8 so the fact that I'm wearing a 4 seems like a dream!

      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!
