Hi joy! thanks so much for asking! I am doing much much better. I have a little minor pain left from the incisions but that is it. The nausea is completely gone. I have one more week of full liquids then I can start the purée stage.

I've lost a total of 16 lb including the pre op diet! I am happy and am feeling well enough to start walking so it should start to come off fast now.

Best of luck with your upcoming surgery! Dr Le and his team are fabulous, they really took the time to answer all of my questions while I was in the hospital. The pre op diet is hard, but so worth it since it shrinks your liver and prepares you somewhat for post op eating!

I don't live in Oklahoma BUT I did travel out to Edmond for my surgery. I read online easily hundreds of reviews on Dr Gregory Walton and not one negative thing was said about him. I flew out 1/19/14, had pre-op 1/20 and surgery on 1/21. I had a very easy surgery and recovery. I did not suffer from any gas pains. I was released on 1/22 on good behavior (able to drink 4 Water bottles from after surgery til the next morning and was up walking every hour).

I have only great things to say about WeightWise, everyone who works there and the surgery center- summit medical center. Would definitely recommend them to in staters and out of staters!

I am from tulsa and got sleeved by Dr. Ladd Atkins in tulsa. I am 5 days post op and ive lost 35 lbs since I went to the first seminar in January.

I stayed 2 nights at pinnacle specialty hospital and I had 2 nurses to myself the whole time. I was the only patient for the whole 2 days.

I was self pay and I chose Dr. Atkins because he seemed very friendly and approachable. I am so excited. Went to the mall today with my daughter and I cant wait to go back when its time to shop for some new clothes. I have a seminar coming up the first week of June and I cant wait til I can show off the new me to my co workers whom I haven't seen since last year. It will be awesome to be able to shop at my favorite stores again (new York and co)

Can anyone recommend a plastic surgeon for a Tummy Tuck, breast implants and thigh lift? Mainly a doc that can do a good thigh lift. I lost 80 lbs and had my surgery in Mexico. I live in Tulsa area. Thanks in advance

      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!
