I'm a Hoosier transplant....orginally a Buckeye. I live in NE IN and had my surgery at St. Vincent's in Indy/Carmel. Where are you from? Where are you having your surgery done?

Howdy, fellow Hoosiers. I'm just getting started. I have my first consultation 3:30pm on Monday, 6/19. I'm from central Indiana (south of Indy). Good luck to you all.

How was your appt with the doctor? Who did you see? I'm still looking for a closer fill doctor. I'm in Brown County often (my parents live there) and your area would be better than downtown Chicago!

There is a doc in Bloomington, but I don't know how good he is with fills. He has a great bedside manner, though. I was only able to go to the first half of my appointment. The doc was stuck in surgery and I had to be somewhere, then a close friend died, so another wait. I have the rest of my initial appointment today (monday) at 12noon. I'll let you know how it goes.

p.s. hope everything goes well for you today!! Happy B-day!!

:clap2: :becky: :banana ;) thanks!!!!! i know, i cant believe it. it seems like the questions from other people never end. now i am getting hit with questions like..what are you gonna do with all that skin? JEEZ.. can i at least loose the weight first? lol. i dont know when to schedule my surgery. im going on a cruise in sept, and they said that it would be really too tough on me to do that before a cruise. so ill have to wait until oct. i smoked my last cig today just to try to be healthier etc. my life is gonna be changing all over again. but i am excited. a little nervous too. im worried about losing hair. little things that i am trying not to focus on now. but thanks for your support!!!! im so happy i found this site!!!

      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!
