Hi everyone. I've only been researching this procedure for about a month now, but somehow know this is the way I need to go. I'm 5'4'', 230 lbs, and my blood pressure is high. I've tried everything and have had some success, but it always comes back, plus. Since I will be self-pay and on a limited budget I have decided I could probably only afford the Dr.'s in Mexico. I appreciate all of you in advance for all the good information and advice you have to share. Thanks again.

Sam

Hey fellow Texan. I grew up in Stephenville. I currently live in Anchorage Alaska. I was totally impressed with Dr. Joya in Puerto Vallarta, MX. www.drjoya.com also see my blogs below.

Hi Sam, welcome to LBT. MsJoy and I live in Fairfield. I think that qualifies as central Texas. If you have any questions just ask away.

Hopefully I'll be lighter in June, Randy and won't mind the heat so much for the rally. June in Austin, wheww too hot for me!

Thanks everyone for the hello's!

      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!
