Hi Misty,

I have submitted my health form to Dr Garcia and I am waiting to hear back from him. How long did it take to get your surgery scheduled?

You should be able so schedule with a coordinator (Alma is who I used) right away. They will go ahead and put it down on the schedule and then Dr. Garcia will give his approval....have you spoken with a coord. yet?

I went through ready4achange....they all work a little differently. Alma booked my date before she even sent me the paperwork. Have you called or emailed her? I am sure you will hear soon - do you have a date in mind?

I am sure I will, just anxious! LOL Actually I am thinking September but I have no idea if they can get me in that quickly. So tell me, how do you feel? What happened or didn't happen that you wish someone would have told you before surgery? So far what is the worst part? How long was your pre op diet? Sorry, just full of questions.

Dont apologize - really, I was full of all of the same exact questions. I have found so much support and help here....there are LOTS of people that have used Dr. Garcia and I know they would love to answer any questions you have...I know I asked them and they answered.

One helpful way I found was to search Dr. Garcia in the forums (up top to the right) and then you get all of the posts that mention him. It is a lot of reading..but it is easier than searching for someone that has had surgery and used him.

I KNOW they can get you in that soon - I have seen them schedule within 3 wks. Some scheduled end of June and have already had surgery or about to before July is over. So, Sept should be no prob!!

      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!
