Hi,

I went to Dr. Bhoyrul's seminar and met with him the end of April. Due to a job change I had to postpone anything further until now.

I really like him and his staff. Have you met with him yet? They have a very good reputation and program from what I can tell already. They provide all the information in your consultations.

I imagine I will get banded in the next month or two. I can't wait!

:)

Well i hope it all works out for you soon. I have not met him yet or even been to the clinic. My phsyc eval is tomorrow my only thing that is stressing me is that I don't have 5 years medical history of weightloss here in the U.S.for my insurance but when I called the nurse that overlooks everything said they would take Dr. notes from Mexico so i hope they will be ok, i treated my self down there for many years befor going to a doc here. We'll see, glad to hear good news about the doc and his staff let me know how it goes for you:) best wishes

Hey Smitten,

I had my psych evaluation on June 1st too (by your post I assume yours was June 1). Did you see Dr. Steres? She seems nice.

Have you gone any further? I just received a call from my insurance so I assume Dr. Bhoyrul's office submitted paperwork.

I am thinking I will schedule the procedure the first couple weeks of August, we have an office move that I don't want to be weak for so I think it is best that I wait until that is complete.

Good luck to you!

Katie

      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!
