I'm looking to have my surgery in a few weeks. I'd like to talk to someone from MS that has had this done.

Thanks

I haven't had my surgery yet (still saving up), but I'm from MS (Jackson area). Hope your surgery went well!

Hi. I hope your surgery went well and you are doing fine. I am in Biloxi and am also looking for someone here on the coast. I am actually looking for a support group or a meeting for us sleevers to get together and share our stories. Do you know of any?

Not sure about any support groups in Miss (I have not heard of any) I am in Pass Christian. I had my surgery in Slidell with Dr. Warden. I think the hospital he is affiliated with La surg specialists has a group (or at least a nutrition group).

I'm from the Northeast MS area. I have not been sleeved yet, but hope to be in the next couple of months at NMMC. Anybody had experience with Dr Pinson?

Shae,

I know you left this message in 2011 so I don't know if you're still on this thread, but I'm from Hattiesburg. I'm having my surgery Friday (October 26, 2012) in Pascagoula. I was wondering who your doctor was and how you're doing these days. I know there's a support grout at South MS Surgery Center in Ocean Springs.

      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!
