My surgery is May 20th in Puerto Vallarta with Dr Joya. Nervous as hell but excited too!! :wacko::blush:

I am trying to figure out what my ideal goal weight after surgery should be. I felt the most comfortable around 140lbs, but am not too sure how to figure that out. I am 5'7", and currently 238lb.

Dr. Joya is simply the best! I am 3 weeks postop and doing fantastic. You are going to love him. I was so nervous but once I arrived at Amerimed everything could have not gone better. The whole team is great!

Disappointed and also relieved. My band had eroded into my stomach and liver. He was unable to do the sleeve at this time. He thinks enough healing will take place in3-4 weeks. I have a yucky drain but very little pain

      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!
