Where are you having your surgery? Mine was done by Dr. Boorse at LVHN.

I was with Dr. Noonan! her! She is very spunky! I was blind sided with my original dr. My insurance would not cover it. Her team stepped up and got me in just in the nic of time and I could not be more thank-ful. Although the "hospital staff" could of been a lot better.

I had a great experience with their hospital staff! How long ago did you get your procedure done and how are you doing? I have had a rough past 6-7 months with family stuff and all and have taken a few steps backwards. Time to start over

@ wayne, I had mine on 11/22. Apparently everyone was "new" when I had mine. I am actually doing very well. I posted a bit earlier with my inches lost since surgery. I have dropped around 28lbs. I still have trouble with raw so I am staying away from it. I am still doing more soft foods than anything. I just had a conversation with a local that had the sleeve done and she is going to do a reboot. Same predicament that you are in. You can do it! We all support you.

Hi. I'm from Orwigsburg, Pennsylvania. Schuylkill County. I'm getting mine done at Geisinger, Danville. Don't have a date yet.

I have been in the program before and have dropped out. Cold feet. Hopefully I will stick with it this time.

      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!
