Hi Jewel!

I met Dr. Foster back in 2003, she's very nice. My Doctor now is McKeen of Good Sam. (was banded by Dr. Sanchez, Monterrey Mexico) there's a great group in San Jose...being summer there is less activity...meetings and such. But I would love to meet up with you. I'm off Dunne in Holiday Estates on Anderson lake. PM me otherwise I'll be thinking of you on Monday!

Yah I weighed in on Monday at 369 on my weight and today I was 355. Not to shabby... My scale is off so I am waiting to post my new weight until I do it at the doctors office.

I weighed in on surgery day at 348.1 so I will wait and see what the Dr. scale says next week during my first post op visit.

      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!
