My husband and I are still in the process of getting the VSG surgery. I was wondering if there is anyone who has had it that is in the Waco, Texas area? I would like to find some other people who have had the surgery or are like us that are still working on getting there. Thanks! :)

Hi! I am from Decatur, Tx not to far from Waco :) I am scheduled for Aug 19th for my sleeve. I am using Dr. Stowers with My Bariatric Solutions in Decatur. Have y'all found a surgeon yet??

Yes, I know right where Decatur is. I grew up in Newark/Rhome area. How funny! We have an appt with the office to discuss everything. I am hoping to have the surgery around Christmas time. I am a school teacher and hate to wait til next summer to do it. We are going to be going to the Scott and White hospital in Temple. My husband and I are both planning on have the VSG done. So are you excited that your surgery is coming up soon?

Oh cool, small world! Are you both wanting to have surgery at the same time? Yes I am so excited! I am a little nervous though, because this will be my first surgery to go under. But when I get nervous I just think about the outcome and I'm excited again!

My husband will be having the surgery first, possibly Sept/Oct. This will be my first major surgery, had wisdom teeth out, but nothing this invasive. I know what you mean about the outcome and getting excited again. I have been making a list of all the things I want to do after I lose the weight. I get so excited when I think about it.

      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!
