Greetings!

Nothing but positive review from me and praise for Dr. Balette and his staff. Very professional, cares very much for you as a patient. Was my surgeon who did the gastric sleeve would HIGHLY recommend Dr Balette and his staff. CHI ST.Luke's in the woodlands TX was GREAT! Nursing staff very very competent, compassionate and "Johnny on the spot" on my overnight stay after surgery. Ty Nurse Sarah and Shania!

Dr. Balette performed my surgery on 7/15/15 at Memorial Hermann The Woodlands. He is an exceptional surgeon and his staff was very helpful as well. I am 4 months out and I have lost 60 lbs.

Greetings! I belong to the "Dr. Balette" club as well. He performed my surgery on 11/04/14 at Memorial Hermann The Woodlands. Great surgeon and staff. Just started puree diet yesterday but after the liquid phases, I feel like I'm in food heaven. Keeping everything down so far - just some occasional bouts of nausea. For the first time today, I tried some powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein Water and was pleasantly surprised at how well it tasted. Got 21 grams of Protein and 8 oz of Water in one drink!

Have either of you been to the support group that's held at Memorial Hermann on 1st and 3rd Thursday?

      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!
