Hi MouseOnTheMile--my hubby is very nervous for me, supportive, but would rather I changed my mind.lol...He does understand the struggle I have had over the years.

After the surgery in TJ..we are going to stay in LA for a break and rest for a few days as we have a long plane ride back to Northern Canada.

I'm in Edmonton, Alberta and I'm going to Tijuana to see Dr Ortiz :) I'm sure once your hubby knows you're safe and sound after surgery, he'll be nothing but pleased you had it, especially when he sees the results and how it will improve your life.

That's not the one.

Private message phillygal64 with your e-mail and she will send you an invite. (I had a problem locating it too, it might be because ours is a private group - not sure)

Why would Albertans go to Mexico when you can get it in Canada for free?? I am scheduled for November 14 in Calgary and pretty excited about it and have the Alberta health services support behind me including dieticians psychologists and nurses including monthly support meetings... Go Alberta and Canada

Because I'm not waiting the two years and jumping through hoops. I want it enough I'm willing to fit the bill. I've been on the list for almost a year and haven't even gotten a call to book my first appointment.

Same as Mouse in the mile, I am in Northern Alberta and it's a 2-3 year process and we don't have the supports you have down south, we need to travel 5+ hours to get them and that would end up costing me more then going to Mexico.

Plus from what I've heard, if we provide an itemized receipt and fill out a form we can be reimbursed a portion of our costs.

Yes we can, aswell as claiming it on our taxes, but I believe there are certain requirements for that.

      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!
