I live right outside Pittsburgh in West Mifflin, PA. Right by Kennywood Park if you have heard of it. Allegheny County. Good to see some other PA folks on here.

Just saw your post now. I had my sleeve done at Magee Women's Hospital with Dr. McCloskey.

I had my sleeve at Sewickley with Dr. Askherili. I am sure that I misspelled his name.

Lorie I live in Cranberry Twp and am having mine done by Dr. Eid at Magee on Oct 24. How long ago did you have your surgery? How did it go?

Lorie I live in Cranberry Twp and am having mine done by Dr. Eid at Magee on Oct 24. How long ago did you have your surgery? How did it go?

I had my surgery July 26th. It went great. No complications any my surgeon said everything went perfectly. My surgery was scheduled for 1:30pm but I went under more like 4pm. I didn't get into my room until 8pm or so and I pretty much was out of it until the next day. I had a really had time shaking off the anesthesia and couldn't get my fluids in so they kept me 3 nights instead of 2. But, the second day was so much better. Once I got home, I recovered fast. No issues so far and I am 11 weeks out today.

Good Luck with your surgery and please feel free to ask me any questions that come up. Sometimes I get better answers on here than from my surgeon.

This is great to hear and you're doing so well! On this forum I also met with a woman that lives in Cranberry and she had her surgery a week ago now at Magee by the same surgeon I'm using, Dr. Eid. She is also doing extremely well. You ladies put me at ease (somewhat! LOL) with all the positive stories!

      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!
