Also went out to dinner with the Dr (Dr Kelly), his wife, his 7 year old son, the anaesthatist & another patient (who is 1 year out & lost over 100lbs so far) yesterday. That was really nice to get to know them all.

Very different to how you get treated in the US I guess, but I liked it a lot.

Of course they ordered me chicken broth, so sipped on that slowly while they ate. It was fun!

I guess you were a cheap dinner date! LOL! That is awesome. I have never heard of a doctor taking out his patient. I haven't spent more than 30 minutes with my doctor. Inspiring!

Yes definitely good luck to everyone. I am going to head down on Wednesday to San Deigo and off the Dr Garcia on Thursday 17. Excited - and loopie right now! Hard to describe. I am never nervous - I am fearless but not careless - but I feel like there is a light for me.

Best wishes to all xxx

Have to stay another night to be fever free for 24 hrs. Fever is gone now. And reason for fever is I have a little pneumonia I haven't had anything but Water since Thursday. I had a rough night last night mentally. I was scared that I made the wrong choice. But then I thought how nice it will be when I can do differ t things with my kids. I think I was also feeling really bad being away from home for 4 days. I have never been away from my kids. I need to get home and start my life. Cause there is no turning back!

      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!
