Dr. Cahill In Dyer, Indiana?



Recommended Posts

Ok, I went to my pre-op visit with the Nurse for 1hour then with Lori for 1hour. The pre-op diet is for 1 week and you can only have protien shakes mixed with Water and water.

So did the last meetings leave you feeling prepared? I just have this feeling no matter how much prep work, i'm still not going to feel like i appreciate the scope of whats coming.

I thought I was prepared! I found out that his sleeve patients have to be on full liquids for TWO whole months after surgery! woah.... He is taking extra caution for leaks which I can appreciate. I hope I can make it : /

That's a big concern for me. I mean, I know i'm going to have a hard time just on the preop liquid diet. i really hope my body changes enough to allow me to get through 70 days of liquid. Just the sound of it makes me worry.

What did you say!?!?!? OH NO! Nuh uh! That is very extreme. One person on YouTube had to do 4 weeks. That is long too....but 2 Months.

yep, days 1-14 (clear liquid diet) week 3-8 (Protein drinks and Vitamins) week 9 (full liquid/Blenderized and FINALLY week 10 (soft to regular foods). I suppose if Dr. Cahill extended the liquid portion it must be for a good reason. oh well...

      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!
