Just wanted to let everyone know I am staying at the Marriot in TJ and it is beautiful! Abraham and the hotel staff go beyond your expectations. I will be having surgery with Dr. Elias Ortiz tomorrow. So far everything is great. I will write in detail about my journey after surgery.

Yes. I was sleeved on Tueday the 11th. I am about to leave the hospital and go back to the Marriot. I will post a detailed journal in the next few days. I will probably post a youtube video as well.

September 10 with Dr. Valenzuela and Dr. Cabrera ... I think :). May switch to Dr. Diaz for the single incision. Either way it'll still be September 10th. Plane tickets are booked :) :)

Anyone using Dr. Valenzuela/ Dr. Cabrera know if they do any follow up once we get back home?

Thanks! I got it done on Wednesday, the 19. I'm waiting at the Marriott now and leave for the airport home in an hour. I loooovvved the nurse with the blonde hair and braces at mi doctor.

Jeneger, thanks for your videos. They helped ease my mind. Good luck to all you future folks! Mi Doctor was great.

      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!
