congratulations on your progress. I had Dr Krueger. My HW 353LBS PRE OP 329LBS CW 240. Goal 180. I'm 5'8 so 180 works for me.

I had dr Krueger as well he did both my sleeve and later my gallbladder surgery as I had to have it removed after surgery

I hear that gallbladder surgery is needed for a lot of bariatric patients. I had mines removed years ago and it was extremely unpleasant. I couldn't imagine having it taken out right after bariatric surgery. You look fabulous I'm glad it all worked out for you

I'm in Pascoag going through Dr. Pohl. Everything but my last 2 nutritionist appointments are already completed!

My name is Becky From RI and am considering Dr Pohl. I know someone who had him and was thrilled. I have my seminar date as 2/11.

Good luck to all!

      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!
