I had my surgery with him on Sept 10th. He is absolutely a master at his craft. His nurses are very professional and no worries you will be well cared for. The wait for surgery must be tough though....................................

You have the patience of a saint... It feels like forever for me and I'm next month! Honestly though it would of made more sense financially to put it off for me but I'm very spontaneous!

I had surgery with him on 8/31. I was doing absolutely phenomenal, and then one day I woke up with a few stomach pains, it kind of felt like my whole stomach was on fire. I waitied for it to go away, and when it was not gone the next day, I emailed him. He emailed me right back and asked me for the number where I could be reached right then. He had Dr. Velazco call me. It turned out I just had an over abundance of acid when I was first transitioning to "food". But I thought it was awesome that they will still take the time out to email and call even after you leave. i find that he and his staff are exceptional. Anyone going there will receive excellent care and definitely be in good hands.

Good to know he called you. It seems weird to only go through the coordinators. I am a little worried about my latex allergy, but I think I can wait to talk to him when I get there.

I would ask about it now just incase there is something you may need to bring with you that they don't have such as non-latex items ( I don't see that happening but I always take precautions when I can). :)

      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!
