I'm Kim and I live in Palm Desert. Surgery 5/9/2012 with Dr Awad in Palm Springs. Age 56. Feeling like a new woman!!

I was sleeved by Dr. Awad on 12/19/2012 and I feel like a new person already too. He's great. I actually found him on a documentary I watched and I am so glad I did!

Hi Jena

We have friends in Soledad. I'm waiting for my date as well. Just went to the pre-op class yesterday at CHOMP. Couldn't stay for the support group but wish I could've. They have another group for sleeves one Thursday a month in the evenings I will try to make. Where are you doing your surgery?

I'm close to the end...I have my psych eval on 2/5/13 and from there they'll call to schedule surgery(only if I lose 26lbs my Dr wants me to lose. I lost 13lbs already) and go for EKG. I'm doing it with Fremont Kaiser. I stop weighing myself because it was stressing me out. So I'm waiting anxiously for the scale on the 5th lol. SW 316 HW 322 CW 303 GW 170-180. I'm 5'9 large frame Samoan female.

      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!
