Hi there!! Congrats on your amazing progress (I read your stats!!!!)....So first off, I sent you an email through this system but I guess you never got it? It was detailed as to what info I have already found in turkey and was hoping you could share your experiences with me...pretty please :-) I am THRILLED that there is someone else in Turkey that has done this :-) I am currently in Turkey and will be staying here for atleast a year....so I am seriously looking into this. So far I found (researching now) three places that do this procedure (2 in istanbul and 1 in izmir).....what was your dr.s name in istanbul? Dr. Halil something? I saw a few things about him....? Do you mind if I ask how much the WHOLE procedure cost you? I have clueless in regards to pricing here in TR.

Hoping you can tell me how things are going for you and if you're feeling like a million bucks!! I'm sooo glad I found you on here!!

If you have some free time Id love to hear your details....and if you recommend the procedure here in TR?

Hope to speak soon :-) *I'm in the middle of turkey- konya :-) Where are you?

      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.

        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!
