Check out Dr Ramos Kelly! Google, he has a great informative website :-) I'm scheduled with him in April - he's really nice, takes the time to talk to you on the phone & go over your medical history (if you fill it out on his website) & if you schedule with him he adds you to his Facebook secret support group (nearly 600 former / future patients). I haven't found someone who's had a bad experience with him.

Hello Torn ;)) I am considering Dr. Kelly as well for April surgery I'm a little bit nervous but wanted to find out from you who you've been talking with and what he's charging for your surgery I kind of would like to also know a little bit more for about how you came to decide on him

I almost went with him but then I found Dr Carlos Altimitano. He's very similar and cheaper. He offers free Skype consults, chats with everyone via FB when you have questions or concerns and comes highly recommended. I'm so happy with my choice.

I had surgery with Dr. Garcia in October 2013 and a great experience...so good, in fact that when my 25 yr old son decided on the surgery I entrusted his care to Dr Garcia. He had surgery on Thursday and is doing unbelievably well. I accompanied him as his support person and am so impressed with the care he received. I was much more aware of all aspects of care as an observer (since I wasn't doped up on painkillers). I would highly recommend him!!

      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!
