Yes, I have my surgery scheduled for May 30 with Dr Fitzer. I have heard so many good things about him and his staff. My niece and a good friend of mine also used him for their surgery and highly recommended him!

I did the webinar Monday and I have my first appointment May 12. My friend used him for her surgery too; and she recommended him. She has only had great things to say! I have PEIA insurance and a little concerned with how long I could have to wait....hoping I don't have to wait that long.

He's great. I have nothing to complain about. He is his own on call physician which I was surprised about, but super grateful for. He has a thorough eating regimen and really sets you up to be successful.

That's really good to hear! I've been nervous....my insurance has a 12 month wait, but I did 12 months of weight management through them... so I'm hoping we are starting the process in time that all that counts!

Hi everyone,

Im scheduled for surgery with Dr. Fitzer, I know im pulling up this thread from a while ago, but i was wondering if he required any one of you to do an endoscopy or sonogram before surgery? I am a self pay patient.

So far he hasn't had me do that....but my insurance requires 12 months supervised diet. I'm getting ready for my 6th visit.

      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!

        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!
