He is amazing! (My wife is T-T lol.) Surgery Aug 19th! Were having surgery on same day! He has received many awards, and performed many surgeries.. The staff at the office are as sweet as pie! I have attempted a few times through other local hospitals, and They were much more challenging with their "rules" than Dr. Graber's office! He has been on bridge street and also has his own commercial!

you will be leaving st. joes hospital as we enter lol. sooo close! you will have to let us know how many days your in, and how the process went in the hospital! My first appointment was may 28th and my wife's first appointment was June 12. May I ask why it took you so long to get a surgery date? I literately got my surgery day 3 days after my first appointment, then when my wife had her appointment they added her to the same day as mine.. They say a lot of couples are very successful doing it the same day..

I will definitely let you know how things go. I have been wondering how long I will be in as well but I think everyone is different based on how they are recovering. They say 1-3 days. My insurance required me to have 6 months of supervised weigh ins so I had to wait at least 6 months. I called in January for my first appointment and they had me start the monthly visits at that time. I am going to be crazy busy the last two weeks of July with dietician appointments, psch appointments, pre op stuff, etc. My last supervised weigh in is August 2nd and then it goes to the insurance for approval. I will be in touch!

Just give them a call. Explain your situation and that you know there is a morning class and is there anyway to change times. Explain if not, no big deal but you thought you would try. I have had to change times before and they are accommodating if there is room. That's all you can do is ask.

      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!
