All the nurses and staff at Trophy Club are absolute dolls! They took SUCH great care of me! I love that little hospi.

Hi, I'm in the DFW area. (Mansfield) Scheduled for December 31st at 1:30PM. Baylor Trophy Club. I see that you guys surgery dates have passed, but I'm a week away and looking for a buddy. My surgeon is Dr. Sina Matin. I'm on day 7 of my pre-op diet. It is a little hard but I'm making it! Need to invest in a scale, didn't want to become obsessed so I have been going by my weight at each appt. The last surgeon consult is today.

Welcome semplycomplx! Yes, Mama Spike surgery was this morning... what a great new years eve present for you! We may try to get together in mid January sometime. I feel for you having a 2 week pre-op. I think it does help to have a pre-op get you prepared for the first few weeks after surgery.

I was sleeved at Baylor Grapevine by Dr. Matin's office partner, Julio Rivera. Dr. Matin rounded with me post-op, and he answered a midnight call one week post-op. He's great! Love his personality!

I also had my surgery there... nurses were very aminiable...except one Adrienne, she just didn't seem to have the same passion as the others... maybe it was just a bad day. I hope your experience is as good as mine was

Semply-you can do it. Dr. Matin is a great physician. He practices at the hospital that I work. The only reason I didn't go with him is, that I didn't want employees in my personal decision.

Mama spike, sending you well wishes that you can get over this hump, remember everyday does get better! Did you get any anti-nausea meds? They prescribed me some that dissolve, but I ended up not needing them.

Focus on the Water, day 3-4 is when I attempted Protein, I had to focus on water and warm herbal teas. The refresh-mint was really great at soothing my swollen belly. Also propel water. I only got in 24 oz on day two, then by day 3 I was able to get 54 oz liquids. With a little protein. Day four was much much better.

I have been taking phenergan for the nausea. Thanks for the advice. I have been sleeping then walking then sleeping. Not used to this amount of laziness. Kids and hubby are making spaghetti and it is making me nauseated again. Guess I will stay in bedroom.

Merry Christmas everyone. Kinda weird not eating anything or having no desire to eat. I have lost 0.4 lbs. Not bad since my stomach is still swollen.

Slowly getting my house back together after Christmas... Feeling really good, but scared to push myself and cause an issue. What are you guys eating/ drinking? I'm still drinking the Isopure, Water, Powerade, and the some sort of clear soup...

      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!
