Dr. Clark is also my surgeon as well. Did everyone have outpatient surgery or did you stay overnight? A little mervous about being kicked out of the hospital too fast!

I was outpatient as most of Dr Clark's patient's are. I had issues after surgery and they didn't try to push me out. I left around 5 pm and I was the first surgery for that day.

I was sleeved outpatient by dr Clark on 7-16...no problems and he is WONDERFUL! I was very happy with him as my surgeon and really love his staff.

Dr Clark is pretty great, very involved with their patients, staff is also great. I was out of hospital the same day but they are always a phone call away if I had any concerns.

Thank you! I admit I have been doing way too much reading of complications in the other forums which makes me nervous. I keep telling myself Dr. Clark has done SO many that I am good hands. How have y'all done post surgery??

Hi, I'm being sleeved by Dr. Mann at Portsmouth navel hospital. Glad to see there are others in hampton roads, I'm feeling a little alone in this process. I am excited and scared at the same time, but ready for an exciting journey.

I used Dr. Terracina and what I found out with calling the scheduler is that I call her number after office hours. Never had a problem getting with Jennifer when I reached out this way.

      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!
