I'm sure I'm not the only one who would be interested in hearing the do's and don'ts. The decision to go for it or not to is agonizing. It would just be nice to talk to people who aren't automatically shooting the whole idea down.... and to get feedback on Dr's, hospitals, etc... What do you do with regard to follow-up when your Dr is not from here? Have you found support with DR's here?

Hello! I am a beginner in all of this. I have been considering surgery for a couple of years, but have finally set up my initial appointments through Highland Hospital in Rochester with Dr. O'Malley. Anyone else?

I am interested in support. I am scheduled for my gastric by pass surgery on 11/24/15. I am excited and nervous all at the same time. I know this is going to be a new chapter in my life and I am ready. Changes are also scary.

Anyone here? I'm on month 2 of my six month supervised diet, looks like I'll complete that in March. Working with Dr. Johnson at Highland in Rochester.

I would love to chat with someone local.

      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!
