I live in the lower southwest corner of MI, close to Notre Dame IN. I am an RN and direct my own Respite Center for those with Alzheimer's.

I have my first appt. at the Barix Clinic in Holland on Dec. 29th. Would love any info regarding this facility?

I also went to the same seminar in Holland on Dec. 29th. I am very wxcited about the possibility but also thinking that I may be rushing it. I feel a little weird about going to the first doctor I find but I have also been doing so reading on him and the Barix clinics and have founds a lot of good stories.

Thanx for replying...I have been researching "this" for 3 years. I looked at Univ of Chicago, and locally at Memorial Hospital in South Bend. I am excited that you were also at the seminar, but not sure which group you were in??

Just wanted to let you know that I went throught with my surgery and it all went fine. Dr. Schram was wonderful and my husband and I both really like him. The Barix Clinic was wonderful. It is nice because everyone is there for the same reason. The staff was very nice. If you want any info on anything just let me know I am interest in hearing how everything is going for you.

Mary did you also use Dr. Schram and the Barix Clinics for your surgery? And if you did how long ago? I was just banded and I am looking forward to my first appt with him.

      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!
