Hi everyone,

I was so glad to come across this web site. I am scheduled for surgery with Dr. R. Rumbaut in Mexico on April 18. ( I currently live in Coeur d Alene Id.) I am very excited about a new beginning and everything that I have read here has really been helpful in answering some questions. Thanks.

I will let you know how it goes!

Shelley.

Thanks for writing so soon. I have to laugh anytime someone asks for me email address, I almost get a little embarrased, but it is fun.

Thanks Maggie, I am so looking forward to the procedure.

Shelley.

You're going to love Dr. Rumbaut, but don't take my word for it, do a Search for Rumbaut. You won't see anything bad about him. I don't think there's even one post that has anything negative to say about Dr. Rumbaut or the San Jose Hospital in Monterrey.

Good luck, this is gonna be great!

      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!
