Sebastien in Daytona? He's a great surgeon he did by daughter n laws bypass and took my gallbladder out a few years ago!

He also did mine. I've been very happy with him, the staff and the entire experience. I'm seeing him today for my 1month follow up.

I completely agree withClinincal Nurses experience. Mine was the same. Everyday is better than the day before. I'm 4 weeks out. My best I advise is follow everything they tell you to do. I had many "aha"moments after surgery when things came up and my brain went "I get it"!

There can be 2reasons why he wants you to loose weight. 1) it makes you a safer patient on the OR table...less risk for complications. 2) he wants to know you are committed to making the dietary changes needed to be successful. To many people want the surgery and the weight loss, but don't want to 'give up' or changes the foods they are eating, like the breads, rice, and sweets. I had a friend in that situation. They wouldn't assign a surgery date until she made the commitment. Before she did, Ll I heard was " well, I can't just stop eating....." Once she did the weight dropped and she is doing beautifully. She now understands that she had to make that real emotional commitment to change. She also has not had any complications. Hope that helps....we're here for you

I know, i saw dr. Noel and thought he was so young. I know every appointment is different but can you tell how long was the physc appointment. The reason why i ask is because i have another appointment that day to see my pcp. And i have heard stories about physc appointments can take 2 to 6 hours.

      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!
