Who is doing your surgery??

Hi, Amy!

I am going to use Dr. Bledsoe in Alexandria if my surgery ever gets approval. My insurance company threw a wrench in my plans for the 9th. Everything has been turned in again. Are you from Anacoco as well?

Hi CherylA...Dr Bledsoe is my surgeon as well. Luckily I've been approved for may 7. Are you going to use the support group?

Hmmm. This concerns me. I've had good experience so far. But am not that into it yet. I don't have a strong opinion either way bout my selected surgeon. If it turns into an issue, I will go elsewhere.

I'm doing better the last few days but Monday I went to my primary care because I wasn't feeling good and she sent me to hospital to get 2 bags Hiv Fluid. I lost 20 lbs first week and this second weak I've only lost 2 lbs.

      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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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!
