I'm here, waiting to have surgery with Dr. Cabrera. I'm so freakin' nervous and scared. I'm wondering what I got myself into. I'm sure that's normal, huh? Yikes!

Yes its is normal! I was there 6 days ago and was so nervous the doctor had to give me some medication to help calm me down because my heart rate was high. You are in good hands. Everything will be great and youll be out of surgery before you know it! Well wishes to you!

Thanks y'all! Surgery went well, and everyone has been nice. I've had some gas pain to my chest and left area shoulder, but that's pretty normal. I've been up walking the hall with no issues. I'm glad it's done with!

Everything has gone SO smoothly. Pickup was a cinch. The driver called right after I landed (we got in about 14 minutes early) and said he'd be there in 10-15 minutes. He picked us up and we came right across the border to the hotel. At the hotel, he escorted us in to check in to ensure that everything was in order. Nissi, the local Med tourism representative, met us shortly thereafter.

Nissi met us at the hospital this morning and it, too,was a smooth experience. Everyone has been nice and accommodating.

Good luck on your surgery. I think you will be satisfied! :)

Chase, I don't think so. I was on the 3rd floor. Which floor were you on?

      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!
