Is it difficult' date=' I want to use dr Fernando Garcia.[/quote']

I may have to go alone as well... I've read many stories of people going alone, and they have no problems. Some even prefer to go alone because they feel like they aren't having to keep someone else company lol I have mixed feeling about it. My family isn't being very supportive so I would probably be better off going solo anyway than having someone negative yapping in my ear!

Perhaps you could find someone on here to go at the same time?

I like your suggestion, when it comes to my family they do not have a say because I am the one suffering by being FAT.

I'm in the same boat as Jesser.

I prefer to go alone. And the more un-supportive people are, it seems like I want to do this more and more.

Thanks that makes me feel so much better also. My hubby may be able to go! Looks like our finances along with his job schedule will allow it!

I went alone and I was fine. There were other people who had surgery in my wing so I made some new friends and had someone to talk to. I was actually glad my friend wasn't able to make it. I didn't always feel like chatting and there wasn't much to do for the three days in the hospital. I would have felt obligated to entertain her when all I wanted to do was take a nap.

What'd you do with your stuff while you were in surgery? That is my biggest concern of going alone...

      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!
