Update on my surgery with Dr. Garcia!



Recommended Posts

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you! I wasn't made aware of an 800# at the Marriott. But you could definitely ask at the desk. We used FaceTime the entire time to communicate through the Wifi and it worked great. We also used the phone at the hospital.

The number is 888-748-8785 just tell your family to be persistant if someone gives them a hard time about patching them through. When my mother called it took her two times the first time, each time thereafter she had no issues calling my room.

No problem, glad I could help :) I was sleeved 11/8/12 so almost 3 months out.

I am doing great, just need to get my behind in gear and start exercising. Other then that eating feels like a chore and I was a bread lover now all I can think about is my Protein and don't even want the bread!! Lol

I am just soooo happy that I had this done. Just had my 3 month blood work done waiting for results hopefully my Vitamins are doing their jobs.

Thanks for asking! :)

Beth,

I was reading posts on some of the post-op forums, and I was surprised to read that many people had trouble eating eggs early in their recovery. For some reason, scrambled eggs seem to upset alot of sensitive stomachs!

      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!
