Hello everyone, I am LizzyM and new to this site. I am an old timer on the OH boards, but still pre-op. My surgery of choice,of course is the vsg with Dr. Aceves. I have read so many positive things about him on both boards which helps me in knowing I have chosen a great surgeon. My surgery is Sept. 30, any one else near or on that date? I will be coming from Ohio to Mexicali. I am very excited! Hope to make many new friends here.

Liz

Welcome Lizzy - we are so happy you are here. You have made an excellent choice in choosing Dr. Aceves. IMO he is absolutely wonderful. You might go to the september sleevers and see who else is scheduled with Dr. Aceves at or around the same time as you.

Admittedly, I am the oddity here having had my surgery done in Flint, MI. But welcome anyway! Good group, lots of knowledge, and the sleeve has been very, very good to me. Best of luck.

There are an awful lot of us who had surgery by Dr. Aceves. I plan to go back there in Oct. and have all my post op lab work done and an Upper GI.

Welcome to our board.

Hi Lizzy

I will be having my surgery the day after you. Flying out of Louisville, Ky. on Sept 30th and surgery on Oct. 1st.

My hubby will be coming with me. Are you going alone?

I can't wait to meet you.

Maybe we can talk in the chat room.

I think this board is very easy to navigate. It's all divided up into whatever section you are interested in.

If you click on User Cp it will bring you back to whatever threads you have posted in.

I find the other board really hard to find my threads that I am interested in reading.

      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!
