Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Recommended Posts

I need some assistance....I am in the VERY beginning stages of looking for a surgeon, I just moved to TX so I dont have any connections here and I would prefer the Dr be in either the San Antonio, TX or Austin, TX area. I would also entertain south Florida area as I have family there. I was sleeved on July 23rd and I am down 111 lbs and my legs tell me daily I will NEVER be able to wear a bathing suit in public EVER again! LOL. I want to wait at least a year to get anything done but want to know what I am in for (especially pricing wise).

Any experience of who to go to (or NOT to go to) is GREATLY appreciated!! THANKS!

Sorry my phone was acting crazy! I'm going to dr Lloyd stegemann with the better weigh center in San Anotnio Texas! He is one of the nicest dr I've seen! He is so caring and had great reviews! Hoping to have surgrey in may .

His main office is in Corpus Christi but does surgreys in San Antonio as well! He has free seminars every month and goes into detail about everything . The lady's in his office are so helpful

      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.

      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!
