Thanks. Mexico may be the only option for my daughter. I will add that name to the list of potential drs.

She is a lot more expensive than other doctors. But I would not have went anywhere else. Go to weightlossforever.ca and they will help you every step of the way. The staples that this surgery require are 3500 alone. So when a doctor is only charging 4500-5000. You kinda wonder if they are using the right equipment.

Thanks for the info. I will check out this site. We are waiting for my daughter's approval letter from her ins. If it is denied, we will go the route of self pay. Obviously US is out, as all are way to expensive, but your estimate from this dr is withi. The range she can afford. We should know in 2 weeks.

Mine is on July 14 also with Dr. Pompa I found that LIMARP Is one of the finest here in Tijuana, her staff is amazing! Being from Tijuana I found that she is the best here.

Titanium staples don't cost that much in Mexico.

That said, I considered Pompa but she was a bit too expensive for me. She is supposed to be fabulous and her center is a Center of Excellence. Congrats on your surgery!

      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!
