When did you get your surgery? It must feel good to be under 300!

I'm in SE Mass. Walpole. I'm having my surgery done at St. Elizabeth's with Dr. McCluney.

Great! I guess there aren't many people around me, but my fellow Massachusettsians are a great start! :) Do you know when you are having your surgery done?

I'm done with all my pre-op testing and they are submitting to insurance next week. I should have a surgery date any day now!

That's wonderful! I will be done with my pre-op testing soon, too. I think I make an appointment with my surgeon on the 13th of February or so! I am so excited. Although I just quit smoking today, so I have to wait 8 weeks before surgery.

That's awesome. Quitting must make things harder! What made you choose Dr. Pecquex? I was referred to Dr. McCluney who is the Assistant Director of the Steward Center for Weight Loss but I don't know much about him...

Rose,

They actually chose her for me. I didn't know all the docs, so I just went with the one they suggested. I go to Holy Family Hospital, and will have the surgery elsewhere, but I forget where. Maybe we will be in the same hospital! :)

I bet it's St. Elizabeth's Medical Center where I'm going! I think that's where the surgeries are done. Have you been to any local support groups? They have them at St. E's

      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!
