Haha normally people reply so fast on here.... It looks like its just me and you on the 15th. My surgeon is Dr. F. Garcia. I've heard that MI Doctor isn't a very big hospital though, so we'll probably bump into each other walking the halls over and over. My grandmother is going with me, so I'm sure you'll see her around as well. She was sleeved here in the states in September and has now lost 65lbs.

Thank you so much!

How has your recovery been? What was your experience like there and with those particular docs?

I am traveling alone and a little anxious. Especially since I've NEVER been outside of the US.

Do you think it would be too difficult to return to work a week post-op for an office based job?

I can't get a lot of time off right now...

Yes, I am planning to come in on the 14th. So we might run into each other. How has your experience been? What surgeons performed your procedure? How long did you stay in hospital?

I was also wondering about how soon to go back to work? Any suggestions ...

Mine was is great so far just the usual gas pain so make sure to walk even if u don't want to, I had dr Ortiz do my sleeve he has been great has been coming by every day to check on me, I have been here 2 days, 2day I go back to the Marriott for another 2 days

Oh a little hint on top of the safe in the hospital they have a sheet sheet with sentences such as " I need more pain meds or I need a blanket that go from English to Spanish just in case you need a bit if help getting ur point across but all the nurses on the 3rd floor seem to speak great English

      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!
