Hi,

I am from Hackberry and Dr Chung did my surgery also. July 1, 08. So far lost 42 lbs. Do you go to the support meetings? If you do, we have probably met.

Great job! I am now 10 months out and I have lost 66 lbs. Please try to make the support meetings, they are such a big help. My DIL and myself have both had surgery with Dr. Chung and think he is great. She had Gastric bypass and she is doing great also. We both feel that the meeting once a month is our day out and it really takes a lot for us to miss it. In fact, only have missed 1 in the last 11 months.

Please feel free to email me anytime, or post on here.

Good luck,

jazie

The meetings are the second Thursday of every month. They are at Womens and Childrens Hospital at 6 pm. I know it will be an inconvience but we have to drive 45 mins. to get there, so we usually go early and shop. That is in Lake Charles.

My email is joelynbb@aol.com

      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!
