Dr Schram



Recommended Posts

I just got my approval letter from the Insurance company today, and I am soooo excited.

Has anyone else had Dr. Schram? I know there was one person talking about him, but I can't find her anymore...

Can anyone tell me what is going to happen now? Like, what else needs to be done after Insurance Approval, and does Dr. Schram do any fills right away, what is he going to want me to do after the surgery as far as food, etc.... As you can see, I am full of questions, but am so very, very happy that I AM APPROVED!!! What a feeling, I am scared and happy and thrilled and scared!!!

Please, if you have any info, please share it with a nearly 48 year old, that is ready for a life of NORMAL!!:tt1:

My surgeon is Dr. Schram! I adore him. He's quite literally the best of the best. I was banded 1/4 and don't get my first fill until 2/18. Grrrr. I want it sooner than that. I'm going to try to get in earlier so I'm gonna call them tomorrow.

PM me if you have any further questions about Schram or the facility (Forest Health Barix Clinic). I went to the Ypsi location...are you going there or to his facility in Holland?

I am going to go to Ypsilanti, actually leaving tomorrow night after work and staying at a hotel near the hospital (1 mile away, I think) because I have to be there at 6 am on Tuesday. My insurance company insists on an overnight stay, so I will be home sometime Wednesday. I am all packed and ready to go as I won't be home again until after the surgery!!! WHOOO HOOO! I am sooo ready!! This day has dragged unmercifully..hopefully tomorrow will be better (if I can concentrate on work!!)

It is now 3 days after my surgery, and I am feeling a lot better!! It is hard to get any food in me, I just don't want it, and forcing it makes me a little nauseous. But I am very very happy the surgery is over and I can start losing weight!!

      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!
