My intent is the be sleeved by Dr Lopez in March, as long as the funds are available (it's been a Murphy's Law kinda year). I would love to hear people who've used Dr. Lopez offer their thoughts and experiences on him. And how you're doing now, postop. Thank you in advance.

Yes I went through ALM with Dr. Lopez and couldn't be happier! Dr. Lopez is a very kind and caring doctor and his associates are as well. I am an R.N and felt that I received top-notch care at all times. My sister n law is in the process of booking with them. : )

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on him. I'm excited and scared to death. Simultaneously. How long ago were you there? Have you had a lot of success postop?

To me that is both good and a lil scary. Good b/c negative experiences tend to stand out like a sore thumb but scary b/c it can feel limiting when you're researching...

My first night was at the marriott and then two nights at the new hospital and then again at the marriott for two more nights. It was beautiful to wake up with flower petals all over the balcony! I am doing well, just eating popsicles cause i am so thirsty, but just not hungry for anything. Oh and im down 18lbs! : )

      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!
