2013 Surgery Anyone?



Recommended Posts

I'm hoping to schedule for mid-December or early in January when I'm on break from school. I've chosen Dr. Kelly and his assistant Omar is really dedicated to calling patients back. It's a far cry from the everday phone calls and messages I leave for doctors here in the US and still haven't had a return call in 2 weeks. My hubby will be making the trip with me but if anyone is there when I'm there' date=' I'm open for buddies![/quote']

OMG me too!!! I'm going there the same time to Dr. Kelly! We can be buddies!!

That's probably when I'm planning on going too! I have a 3 year old and he is going to stay with his Nanna during my brother and sisters spring break so it will be easier on her. I haven't decided on my doctor for sure yet.

Well, maybe sleeve buddies, if not in Docs then dates. Cool. Good luck!

I am getting mine done early next year ( End of February or beginning of March). I am using my tax return to have it done so I am thinking the end of March would better. I haven't picked a surgeon yet, but I will be doing that soon.

      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!
