I'm near the King of Prussia area, work in Rockledge. Haven't had procedure yet but going to Einstein East Norriton.

That's where I had my surgery. It's a really nice hospital--my mom who is an RN came from out of state for my surgery and was very impressed with the facility and the care I received. Which surgeon are you with--Dallal or Trang?

I'm at the very beginning of this. Been down this road in the past and it didn't work out. Since I'm starting over with a new hospital and surgeon my family and I are going to a meeting on 11/28. No surgeon yet.

Bonster21387 If you have not 100% picked a facility and doctor I would suggest you look at Barix Clinic in Langhorne. I used a surgeon that is no longer there but I really liked the facility and the nursing staff. They specialize in Bariatrics. Of the nurses that took care of me they all had about 11 years of bariatric nursing with the least experience being 10 years. They had all worked a Barix for a long time.

      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!
