Yep.....he and his staff are great! He was my surgeon of choice. When you get to the required nutritionist appt. (they had a choice of 2 and I can't remember which one I went to) she was all gloom and doom but don't worry about her....Jayme will give you all the information you need in terms of nutrition etc.You will get stuff in writing, and a website for you and your family/friends to watch videos showing each procedure. They also have monthly support groups for pre-surgery and post-surgery people. I could go on and on...but if you have any specific questions hit me up.

Thank you so much Sophie'choice. I really don't know what to expect with all of this even though I've been researching for 3 years! LOL! It's just different actually going through all of this. I just heard about the pre op support mtg and I'm going to the next one. How long ago did you have 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.

      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!
