Oh, they wont know you've done badly. I was asked my weight by the anaesthetist but not weighed. My surgeon said dont bother about the Optifast, you dont need to really shrink your liver, but everyone else mentioned it to me, so I rang his office, there was nothing on my file, his secretary told me to start and she would check with him, he said no, dont bother but I kind of half did it anyway and then after the surgery he asked me if I lose much weight on the Optifast! He had no clue! They cant tell by looking at your insides what you've been eating.

Oh Suki, I am so glad I saw your post. I have been trying to remember who it was that asked me for my doctors information and when I saw your post, I realized it was you and that I never sent it to you. I apologize, here's the information you asked for:

Dr. Eddie Gomez

305-285-5090

3661 South Miami Avenue

Suite 301

Miami, FL 33133

You and your Mom are both in my prayers that all goes well for both of you. I wish you two a successful surgery and a speedy recovery.

Cindy

      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!
