N.E.W. Center in OC anybody?



Recommended Posts

Hi Lots of hope;

I had my surgery through this center, but used Dr. Quebbemann. Can name 3 people who have used Dr. Braverman. Send me a private message if you would like to discuss. (click on my user name in upper left corner) Best wishes on this journey!

Glad I choose the NEW Program!

I am also scheduled for surgery with Dr. Braverman on Dec.9th. Band revision to sleeve.

Band surgery originally done by Dr. Quebbemann some years back. Great doctors,

hospital and recovery. Band in itself was horrible. I could never tolorate it. The only

weight lost from band was due to puking and not being able to eat anything. Very

hard decision for me to finally come to terms with doing the sleeve revision. After

10 months of comtemplating, I'm going forward. Scares the heck out of me.

Yup...this was me. Had the band via the NEW program (Dr. Q) back in 2008. Have had all my followups over the years with Dr. B - who I adore...and am in the painful waiting period of *fingers crossed* to see if my insurance will cover the band to sleeve revision. At this point, if all goes as planned, I will start the 2 week pre op diet on 7/23 with my surgery date set for 8/6.

I hate to wish the summer away but I really want August to be here.

      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!
