I was actually researching gastric sleeve surgery in Mexico and looking at different coordinating companies, that's how I found this site.

I would guess Bing. I did a lot of research those first few months.

My surgeon, Dr Spaw at St Thomas at Midtown in Nashville, referred me. He told me about this site at my first surgical consult and highly recommended I get plugged in.

A coworker had it done last year. To be honest I had my mind set on the lap band until I went to an informational seminar held by a local bariatric surgeon.

Google and as VSG is not as popular in the UK yet (it will become so I'm sure) I wanted an active site and stumbled on you guys and I am really glad I did. I mainly just read posts and got lots of info before surgery, came a little bit more active after surgery and now hang out with the vets and get all their great experiences and support.

      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!
