Has anyone used him? What's his pre-op diet? How's his after care? I attended his seminar and he said all the right things....just want to talk to someone who has been there. Thanks.

Hi, I did not use him, but I thought I would bump the thread for you to see if we can get a response for you.

Did you go for your consult yesterday. I went and have surgery scheduled for the 13th. Have you been to the journeylite web site. they have a talk forum there you may be more likely to find someone who has used him. I have the email address of someone who used the dr but I want to make sure she doesn't mind me giving it out. She swares by him. the journey lite web site is www.journeylite.com

Yes I went to my appt. and started my pre-op diet today. I already had my surgery date, it's also the 13th! I'm so ready to start the new phase of my life. Please email me the address if you can.

Susan, thanks for the "bump".

Mom, you need to add your "ticker". Stay in touch. Good luck!

I emailed her but haven't heard back yet. It may be tommorow. Are you having any trouble with the diet. I feel like I'm hungry most of the day. Of course it doesn't help that I have to feed my kido's all day. But I'm determined to stay on course. Today was better than yesterday thank goodness.

Lynne, I'm going to the Journey Lite seminar tomorrow in The Woodlands, I believe Dr. Collier will be speaking. How did you get your surgery scheduled so fast? Where is the surgery at? Hopefully your surgery went well yesterday and you're recovering quickly!

txchick, did you go for the seminar? How did you like the dr? I used dr collier, I had surgery on March 13th. I really like him so far. I am still on full liguids, only 3 more days to go!!!!! Lynne and I both had our surgeries at the JourneyLite center in houston. We are both self pay so the process is much faster. As for me, Dr. collier had a cancelation so I went from 1st visit to surgery in 10 days. If I can answer any questions let me know.

Hi - I go to Dr. Collier and I think he is great! I had my surgery done at JourneyLite on November 1st. I love Dr. Collier's PA too, she does all the fills there and she does a sweet fill! I know several people that use them and have heard no complaints.

      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!
