I'm in Citrus Heights. I'm having surgery 10/12 at Sutter Roseville with Dr. Shadle.

Hello! I live in Citrus Heights as well. I'm getting ready to meet with my surgeon. I'll be having mine done By Dr. Eslami at Methodist in South Sac. I've been trying to find others that are getting ready to get surgery or already had surgery through them as well.

I had surgery in October. I'm down 53 lbs from my highest weight. I haven't heard anything about Dr. Eslami. I absolutely love Dr. Shadle, and am very happy I had my surgery with him. I have had NO complications whatsoever. :)

Congrats Papi and Taralynn! I'm on my pre-op supervised diet. The surgeons nut verbally told me on my first visit that I have to lose 30lbs first but the paperwork I saw on my last visit said 40 so I'm not sure how much I have to lose exactly but I've lost 12 of it so far. I've been really irritated with my surgeons office though because I got approval to meet with the surgeon back on Nov. 20 but they didn't get me in there until Feb. 11. Then the Dr. asked me which surgery I wanted and I told him RNY and he said he wouldn't do that one on me because my BMI of 64 was too high and said he would only do the sleeve on me. That was really disappointing and confusing since most doctors prefer the bypass for the patients with a higher BMI. I've been pretty disappointed but trying to get used to the idea of the sleeve. I'm just afraid of failing with it. So far what was supposed to be a 6 month process has turned into almost a year.

      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!
