Pre-opt testing on December 10th and surgery scheduled for December 27th :) I have jumped through so many hoops, so many requirements. I am just worried something will go wrong on testing day and I will have to be re-scheduled. Has anyone or is anyone going to SVCMC? Dr. Chandra Hassan? I welcome any comments, advice or opinions! Thanks and GOOD LUCK!

I had surgery on Oct. 9th, 2013 by Dr. Chandra Hassan. RNY Bypass. I also worried something would go wrong on testing day, it didn't! Don't worry about something that hasn't happened yet! My surgery stay was of normal, the staff of Dr. Hassan's is excellent. You will be happy with everyting, I promise you, they are simply the best!. You have a great support system there. I myself could not handle the pain, so I had called and three days later was back in for pain management. Don't let that scare you though, everyone is different. I am not sorry I did this and am well on my way to being in better health. Any other questions,, ask please....You will be great!

      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.

      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!
