Baton Rouge here! I had VSG with Drake Bellanger at the new Woman's Hospital, and let me tell you, that place is SWANK! My husband kept taking pictures of the hospital room...

Dr. Bellanger is awesome, can't say enough about him and his whole staff, great people. I was out of pocket.

So far, so good - I agree with whomever saw Linda Braud the dietician, she is adorable and so helpful!

Hi!

My name is Jenny' date=' and I live in Denham Springs, La. My insurance (Humana) covered my sleeve at 100% so I was limited as to where I could go. In the Baton Rouge area I would find a Surgeon, but then the hospital they used was not "hospital of exellence". So I had to go to Layfayette which was a pain (the drive to and from), because it was a 8 month process. I used Dr.Chu, and she is great and REAL. I've only seen her twice. Once for a consult, and once the day after my surgery. Of course I saw her during my surgery but I wasn't awake for that. I'm a little disappointed that no one has called from their office to see how I am doing. I had my surgery on Thursday, June 28,2012. I think the real star of the show at that clinic is Kate Roundtree the Nutritionist!! I love her and she has helped me so much. I feel like I can ask her anything. Just yesterday I emailed her a creamy blackbean Soup recipe and she looked it over and oked it for me. Love her! Because I just recently went through this surgery I'll be happy to answer any questions. I had a wonderful experience, have experienced no pain and am so ready for some mushy foods!! I would love to have a close to me support group if anyone is interested.

      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!
