Hi Fellow sleevers....I'm from the metro Detroit area as well. I went thru the entire Henry Ford program & was scheduled with Dr. Carlin, whom so impressed me. BUT when I went to the HF clinic to meet with him, the exam room I was dropped off in for over 2.5 hours waiting for him was absolutely filthy. They called house keeping services while I was there because I was threatening to post pics all over social media but too late, I saw what I saw. Then even if I could have forgiven that, I had the RUDEST nurse come in to give me pre-surgical instructions. I asked her a question about what we were going over & her response to me was "I'm not paid to know that answer." WTH??? Not an answer I wanted to hear after trying to forget the dried bodily Fluid matter I saw stuck on a chair in the room I was sitting in or the dust bunnies that were probably the size of a lemon.

I was told that the hospital itself was immaculate & I was even offered a tour of the patient areas because I made my complaint heard up the chain but my husband went with me & the filthy room plus the extremely long wait time after having an appt & the rude nurse was such a turn off to him, we went to Troy Beaumont & my experience was blissful there. If Dr. Carlin would have been able to do the surgery at Beaumont, I would have requested him but I had to go with another surgeon, who I was just as pleased with. Thankfully Beaumont accepted all the tests that I had done with HF so I was able to proceed quickly & effortlessly.

I hope & pray that by now, they've got their game on, after my complaints to several individuals up the chain. I even received a personal apology by Dr. Genaw, which very much impressed me.

Good luck to you both! I'm sure it will be a good experience. I have been in contact with others from this board who had their surgery at HF downtown & they all had glowing remarks. I'm sure that means that things have changed there....or hoping anyway!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
