But..... did he get to finish?

Heh... I wondered the same thing but I couldn't tell.

I suspect he did, or he wasn't getting very far. You know guys, once they are on their way there is nothing in life that will stop them. ;o)

There are but the problem is they don't have a great deal of experience. Cirangle in CA is probably the best in the US. You really want someone with a LOT of staple line experience, TONS of staple line experience.

On the sleeve forum I have another "How to research a Mexican 'Sleeve' Surgeon" in that sig but it is great for researching a doctor in any country. It tells what to look for and what to ask.

Bands are easy for surgeons to do. It's the easiest procedure out there. Sleeves and bypass require more experience so you don't want to go to just anyone.

Are you thinking about a sleeve?

      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!
