Rica - Remind me right before you come and if at all possible I will meet you! We sometimes ride our Harley's down there and if the weather is nice it might be a good time to head that way so we can meet you!

Hi Dixie, I'm in Cleburne and I used Dr. Powell for my surgery. His staff was wonderfull. He is a little on the dry side. My surgery went well. The only thing I have to complain about is not really about me (well, I guess it does involve me). I was a cash pay patient and I was referred to Dr. Powell by Dr. Maese in Ferris Tx. I had my surgery in November of 2004 and as of yet, Dr. Powell has not released Dr. Maese's portion of my payment to him. They have finally agreed to pay him but I don't know if the payment has come across yet. He tried to say that I wasn't referred to him and came to him on my own will. Well I didn't even know who Dr. Powell was until Dr. Maese referred me to him. Any ways, though you should know that. If you are a cash pay patient and will use Dr. Powell for your follow ups, you have nothing to worry about. But watch out if you are a cash pay patient and you go somewhere else for the follow ups. Dr. Maese was doing my follow ups for free until all this got straightened out. I love Dr. Maese.

Hello everyone.

This is my first post to this group. I nave not been banded yet. I am still in the process of finding a Dr in the area. Any assistance you can provide in recommending a local Dr that performs this type of surgery would be appreciated. I live in Justin, TX, next to the Texas Motor Speedway, Between Denton and Ft. Worth.

      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!
