Not exactly in the neighborhood, but reasonably close... (I'm a couple hours northwest of you in Cumberland, MD)..

Welcome! I had my sleeve 7 months ago in Mexico.

Hi, I'm in Annapolis, and surgery is at AAMC, too, with Dr. Gandsas. My surgery date is pretty far in the future -- March 14th.

Apple! I didn't realize we were practically neighbors! (Ok, I never get down there anymore, but grew up in Calvert County, so used to go to Annapolis all the time!)

@Berry78, and my dad grew up in Cumberland! I'm gonna call you my Irish surgery twin, being as our surgeries are less than a year apart. :-)

I love that Apple and berry are Irish twins, sounds like the beginning of a delish fruit salad! :lol:

And welcome, @kelsen! I'm sort of near you, in Loudoun County, VA. I figure if I work in an office with people from where you are, it's close enough to be in the "neighborhood!"

      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!
