I'm from Indiana too and I'm brand new to this and just starting to look into it. Have you had it done already?

Not yet. I go for my final appointment with my surgeon next week the I have to wait on insurance approval and a surgery date. I'm hoping for early April.

I've heard the process is quicker at St.Vincent and some of the Dr's are part of both groups.

I used Dr. Diaz at St. Vincent Hospital. He and the hospital were both great!

I'm using Dr.Inman she is affiliated with both groups. She is one of the few Dr's that do the switch and has been doing it for years. A sleeve is just the first part of the switch.

      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.

        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!
