Hi all, wanting to see if anyone has used these docs. What was your experience ( as a whole) including staff. I have been trying to research these docs online but seems as though I can't find to much. Thanks in advance ;)

Or does anyone know of websites that have testimonials for docs, are malpractice suits and such public information?

Dr. Rawlins is great. I'd have him do my revision if I could afford him. I think I've found a good doc out of state who will help me though. Good luck to you!

Do u live in Spokane or will u be traveling? I am using Dr. Spitz from Rockwood. I am traveling and wanting to know how the road back home will feel on my new tummy. It would be great to pick ur brain when u r post op, and have someone to talk to who is using the same hospital/staff.. keep me informed.. maybe we could exchange numbers.

I am seeing Dr. Spitz and traveling from Ephrata, Grant county. I got my surgery date 07/11/18. I'm elated I have to go back for an 8 week pre-op May then 2 week pre-op June. I've talked to several people who have had bypass and traveled from my area say not a bad trip getting home.

      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!
