I'm going to Kaiser Richmond too. My orientation was 2 weeks ago & I just had my first appointment this morning with Dr. Mostaedi. He is awesome! I have to wait till January 3rd to see Dr. Z (I'm a little nervous about that appointment).

So far everyone there has been so nice to me. Even this morning when I was a nervous wreck before my appointment the woman that was taking my vitals and weight was doing her best to try and help me chill out.

I'm hoping for surgery mid-february. I already met my goal weight so it's pretty much my choice on how long this whole process takes.

@@tamirn the process moves so fast if you do your part. Orientation to surgery was 2 months for my hubs and I'm 2.5 months and could be sooner.

@@shaylady08 that's crazy when We told

Liz we weren't sure about getting the time of work she made it seem like with the drs note we had to get the time off.

@@bubbz333 Dr Z was cool too. Don't be nervous. You might be able to get in sooner if you call for cancellations.

I have Dr Baggs too and like him.

Liz wasn't bad either. I was nice and was sure to know my stuff and she was pleasant and even joked around.

Bummer @@shaylady08! I'm hoping for Feb so that I don't have to cancel patients. I've been working for a few years so I have lots of ESL to use.

      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!
