I finally got the guts to schedule the consult!



Recommended Posts

September 1st is my first consult, in Houston with Dr. Marvin. ((Squeal!!))

I am cash pay, so I pushed it that far back to allow me to save money, and make some extra money to put down for downpayment.

I am soo excited, but still dealing with very skeptical husband about spending so much...and he will not budge on letting me to go Mexico, I'm not going to fight it. Just going to save as much $ as possible to have minimal impact on our finances.

Still haven't told my family...thats a milestone for another day :)

Congratulations!!! :) How exciting. It just puts you in a totally different frame of mind, huh? I have my consult scheduled for May 10 and even just scheduling it makes me feel like a different person!

Sophie--where does Dr. Marvin work from? I'm scheduled for my sleeve on Monday at Memorial Hermann in the Medical Center with Dr. Todd Wilson. I'm scared and excited at the same time!!

      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!
