I am with Dr. Hoehn also. Scheduled for January 10. Can't get here soon enough. I am also self pay so things have progressed very fast. I am psyched. I have my second appointment tomorrow and start my preop diet on Thursday.

I was sleeved on 12/26 by Dr Kowalski. I was self pay so the process took about 45 days. I am one week out and down 15 pounds since surgery. 24 pounds down since my first visit with Kowalski. Love my sleeve :)

I am using insurance. I was denied at first, but approved second time around. I'm going with the bariatric program at Wesley. My surgeon is Nicholas Brown. His office is actually at Via Christi St Francis, but he does the bariatrics for Wesley too. My surgery is Feb 4! It's soooo nice to find a fellow Wichita friend :)

I'm doing really well. Very little pain. Zero gas issues. The key is walking. I am learning that small bites are much easier to handle Have a positive attitude and you will be fine. Good luck!

I am almost 3 weeks out and down about 31 pounds. Just now adding things to my diet. I still have panic attacks like "what have I done" but over all very happy. I think I will be fine when I can get around better, have more energy and start working out.

We could start a support group for us that live in the kC area.

Dr. Hoen's office has a support group once a month. The next one is Feb 7th 3:30-5:00. Then in March they will have one from 6:00-7:30. I dont have the March date. But every other month they alternate the times. Here is the phone number if you need to call them 913-677-6319.

      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!
