My testing is May 16th in Logansport. I am kind of hoping for late June or early July.

No my surgeon is Dr. Diaz. I was on a limb between him and Dr. Evanson though. Lol My mom had dr. Caccuci (sp???) and wasn't happy with her so I knew I wanted to go with someone else so I started asking around. I took whoever could get me in for my consult the soonest. Lol

Hi all! I am in Indy and I'm also with Dr Evanson. I just got my testing date, too! It's May 27th! Any idea how long it takes to get a surgery date after testing? I'm really hoping for late June.

I have my testing on Friday, so i am hoping to get a date right after that. Hopefully we all have our surgeries close together. Maybe we will be in Pre-op classes together. :)

I'm in Washington! (: There are quite a few us here who are doing online support groups because there aren't any physical groups anywhere near us. I've thought about starting a support group but I didn't know where to begin! (:

Hi everyone. I'm from Lake Village, having RNY early next year with Dr Cahill at St Margaret's in Dyer.

Anybody else from NW Indiana?

      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!
