I scheduled the first consult with dr casillas for July 13. I'm trying to get a referral to another location.

Dr Zelada did my surgery at West LA on 4/6/12...he is a fantastic doctor and he did beautiful work. My scars are small and there were no drains or anything, he closed me up tight. I had hardly any pain and I have been feeling wonderful since the surgery!

He has a sweet disposition and he is not bad to look at either :wub:

I'm so excited for you 'Gettinhealthy'!

I've done all the classes and been cleared by my dr's but I'm terrified they'll tell me it's too soon after chemo even though my Oncologist gave me his blessing is all for it. I guess it's in God's hands now!

Had Dr Zalada sleeve me June 4th. He was great during our consult talked into the sleeve instead of the band. Best decision I made.

      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!
