I'm using dr lisa too, I love her! I'm scheduled for 1.8.13 after a set back. My surgery was supposed to be next week. I'm so sad.

There is a reason and propose for everything. You just have to look at the positives. I don't know if you prescribe to any particular faith, but maybe thinhs are being worked out to be of the greatest benefit to you!

Absolutely! Great -and so very true - words of encouragement, Liz . Keep your chin up Alicia. Great and wonderful things are being planned for you. Don't believe me? Find a Bible and read Jeremiah 29:11. Then read Romans 8:28. Then, dear one, take a deep breath, smile and know you are loved and cared for every minute of every day - and have been since long before you we're ever born!

I'm in Dayton Ohio. Jan 7th unless there is a cancellation. The count down app is a good idea! 27 years, married, 4 kids. Looking for a buddy myself if anyone close to Dayton. I started the process Dec 15 ,2011. So a 13 month process. Had a 9 month physician diet. A few denials but finally approved and scheduled! Ill b on a 14 day diet. So no Xmas dinner or drinking on new years Eve.

Yep....January it is. I just received insurance approval yesterday and my surgeons office said they will call me soon with a date but that the surgeon is booked until Jan. I look forward to talking with the rest of you Jan. folks to compare notes and give support.

Hello! Im 32, 4'11, and 248 pounds. I'm from the Dallas area and January will be the final appointment for the 6 month physician supervised diet. My guess is that my surgery will be some time in February. Dr. Kuhn's at Baylor Medical is my surgeon. I'm nervous, but extremely excited! I hope that time passes quickly so that I can get this over with. Any advice that I should take with my eating habits right now or Vitamins that I should start taking to prepare myself? Good luck to all!

I'm scheduled for January 10. I was scheduled for Dec 6, but work asked me to wait until after the Holidays. I was really upset at first but now realize it is for a reason. I am so excited! 9 years being 100+ pounds overweight and I'm ready to shed it off!

      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!
