It was pleasant...as pleasant as major surgery gets. The rooms at Legacy Good Sam are really nice and private. My brother said it was more like a Holiday Inn. The nurses and CNAs were awesome. I came in Wednesday morning and left Thursday afternoon.

Dr. Patterson is very efficient. She's not warm and fuzzy, but I prefer a bit of distance. I want a brilliant doctor, not a new BFF.

All in all, nine days out and I'm feeling great. I already went back to work, and I'm seven pounds down.

@@sheldopp what's NUT? I keep seeing it everywhere? Is that nutrition/nutritionist appointments ? Woohoo! That's right around the corner! How are you feeling? Are you completely confident in your decision? I'm still a little weary on going through with all this

Hi everyone! I'm in Portland and waiting on hearing back from OWLS (sent my new patient application on 11/2 and they said to allow 2-6 wks for insurance verification and scheduling the consult). I have Anthem/Blue Cross Blue Shield and I'm 99% sure I'm covered (my plan covered anything that's considered "medically necessary") but I can't help but worry abt being turned down before I've really even started the process.

      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!
