Your I great hands! Good choice and good luck to you!

Thank You! I am so excited but nervous at the same time? Did you have your procedure with him? If you did how was your experience?

I did! On the 18th of this month. It was a great experience, everyone was very friendly and welcoming. Everyone speaks English except for the nurses, but it's easy to communicate for the most part! The biggest tip I could give you is to take GasX strips with you! You will be so thankful you did! And I am so glad my sleeve sister did, because I needed them. Lol. They give you a run down of everything that will occur, you will not be blindsided by anything. Dr. Aceves and Dr. Campos have amazing bed side manor. The anastesiologoist (sp) is amazing, hospital was very clean and nice, and so was the hotel.

      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!
