My surgeon in fresno is dr. Juarez

♥Nikkoal♥

Haven't heard of Juarez, not that it means much. I seemed to keep hearing the same four names from most people I've asked. Felix, Swartz, Boone, & Higa all seem highly reccomended in Fresno.

My Doctor is Dr Ben Shadle of Sacramento BMI. He is fantastic. He is very caring and has a great beside manner. I had zero complications from the surgery. His entire staff exhibits the same caring and supportive attitude. I was in the hospital 24 hrs after surgery. During that time all the key members of his staff visited me in the hospital. I strongly recommend him.

Here is a news article on Dr Shadle:

Benjamin Shadle, M.D., FACS, has been appointed Medical Director for Bariatric Services at Sutter Roseville Medical Center.

As a bariatric surgeon, Dr. Shadle’s professional interests and areas of research include advanced laparoscopy/bariatric surgery with a special interest in the treatment of diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hypertension and obstructive sleep apnea.

Dr. Shadle received his medical degree from Ohio State University, Columbus, OH, and holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Brigham Young University, Provo, UT. He completed his residency at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital, Santa Barbara, CA, and is fellowship trained in Minimally Invasive/Bariatric Surgery from the University of California, San Francisco-Fresno, in Fresno, CA. In addition he is board-certified by the American Board of Surgery and is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons.

As medical director for bariatric services, Dr. Shadle will lead the bariatric care team at Sutter Roseville Medical Center in continuing to develop and implement practices to ensure surgical excellence, outstanding outcomes and compassionate patient care. Dr. Shadle also will actively emphasize patient and physician education about the disease of obesity in the community.

      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.

        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!
