I have Tori and absolutely love her.

Yay on the 30lbs!!! That's so awesome. I can't wait until I'm post-op. It feels like it'll never get here. Lol

I'm from SE OK and I'm waiting on insurance approval for a sleeve with Dr. Keith in Norman. Does anyone have any positive or negative stories about him?

Bixby area here. Went to Bailey Bariatrics with dr Varnell. So far I like him. I'm post op day 13 for sleeve and doing pretty good. Having some pains sporadically through my abdomen and incisional pain but drinking great. Anyone else get these pains in abdomen?

Just starting. I see Dr. Katsis tomorrow for the first time. He is in the same office with Dr. Varnell. I live just west of Tulsa. Very excited.

If you don't like him, Varnell is great. I hear also it's cheaper at bailey than city tower hospital

Just depends on insurance. I hear Dr. Varnell is good. Several people here in Mannford has used him. I found out after I got started with Katsis.

      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!
