Ursilla McMillan just left Saint Raphael's and moved to Springfield Mass. She will be working out of Mercy Hospital. She is awesome! Fixed my hernia when I had lapband. Just did my sleeve before she left. Accomplished, highly educated in her field, down to earth and easy to talk to. If you look her up you wll see for yourself. I worked at the hospital she used to work at for ten years. Doctors and nurses alike always sung her praises as well as the patients..

Are you in the western part of the state? There's a lot of good bariatric programs around the Boston area. I had my sleeve done at Lahey clinic in Burlington. They're a really good team & I was well cared for. If it's a bit of a ride for you though it might be inconvenient. There are a LOT of appointments prior to & after surgery.

I went to The Beth Israel WLS. Daniel Jones did my surgery but they are all good. They usually go ahead and take out your gallbladder and they will repair any type of hernia situation that they find once they get in there. Mi went for my first visit on March 11 and had my surgery April 22nd (Monday). I feel good. Also The Beth Israel nurses after my surgery were fantastic!! Good Luck!

      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!
