I had Fernando Garcia. I had a good experience overall. You will like him.

I love reading so many wonderful things about him. I have only heard one negative and that was because a woman had a heart issue that was not disclosed. Did you have your surgery at Florence Hospital? That is where I will be staying

I was at Mi Doctor. He may have changed since then. I know he started the single incision surgery shortly after I had my surgery in November too. I really liked him. Very soft spoken and smiley.

I work in Magnolia and the commute is very time comsuming so can't walk until 6:30-7ish. Is that too late? Maybe okay when it stays light later in the months?

I am in University Place and having my revision May 10th. very nervous but need to do this. I was originally going to use Dr Aceves, but he quoted me $11,000 as I am self-pay. I am instead using Dr Fernando Garcia after a ton of research. I think I am in good hands if Alma is any sign of what to expect. She is very thorough :)

I live in Lakewood having surgery (also revision) on May 23. I went with Dr. Quinones.< /p>

Do you (or anyone) ever go to the support group at the Poodle Dog? I think I will attend on May 14.

      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!
