Dr. Michael Snyder - Great Surgeon!



Recommended Posts

i had my surgery on 3/24 Dr. Snyder and his staff were amazing I'm about a week out. I don't get to meet with him for another week would it be ok to have other liquids that aren't necessarily clear?

If you are supposed to be on Clear Liquids then why would you push it to something that is not. Follow what your post op directions say exactly, you need to heal. If it says Clear Liquids, then don't push it.

well it says to be on clear liquids for like 5 days and then you can go to the 5 foods you can pick from and since i havent seen him i figured i would stay on the liquids but im reading other things that ppl have said they can drink full liquids after two days

I had Dr, Snyder as my surgeon this past Monday. I can't find words to tell you how wonderful heis. I had no pre-op diet, and have not had any gas pains and have not used any of the narctiocs that he had given me. I would higly recommend him.

Had surgery with Dr. Snyder on March 19 2012. It was a wonderful experience. I received a Lap Band with Plication. There was some difficulties with the Plication but he was on top of it immediately. It was mostly just a lot of swelling. He had may stay over night in the hospital and I was watched very closely. I am home now and can't wait to do the rest of the classes. The staff is awesome and I am so glad that I was given all the education in the world to be successful. Dr. Snyder told me he promised he would make things perfect and he really did.

      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.

        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.

      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!
