I tried tagging my surgeon Dr Pablo Fok Russell. He's not in the list.
Im currently waiting to be wheeled to surgery.
I'm so far extremely impressed. I lost a lot more weight then expected on my pre-op diet. I was allowed salad with a Protein choice, 13 almonds and Protein Shakes.
Everyone is very friendly. I had an EKG, bloodwork & xray done as soon as I arrived. The bloodwork was back in an hour! I met everyone. I like everyone.
Two women on my flight rode with me here. They are getting some sort of plastic surgery. One already had a facelift already. Looked good too! I liked riding with people who were familiar. The driver was really informative.
Now I'm waiting to be wheeled back!

All is well. Very attentive. Everyone works as a team. The Dr has came to see me a few times. I have no complaints at all.

Update

Im so impressed with the care I received. I have no negative comments at all.
I have been walking. I have a headache that I'm uncertain if it's related , i get them often. No other discomfort.
Every employee is amazing. I would forget to walk & I was gently reminded.
I am very happy with my decision.
The building is beautiful. I don't have pictures because I took a video.

I took a few pictures . Only one of my room. I was taking videos. I didn't think of pictures until after I left.

They are of my hotel. Absolutely gorgeous. Room service has my menu.
Everything's set up for me. I have a picture of my driver & his car & license number for the morning ride to the airport.

      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!
