Boston Mass and would love to find an actual physical support group. That would be cool. I'm sure my hospital and group will turn me on to some resources.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I just read through 30 pages of comments and not one other Okie!

So ya'll, I'm from the Tulsa, Oklahoma area. Anyone on here from the area?

@@sleevydreams Where are you having surgery? I'm having mine at Bailey Medical because it's close to home and has a pretty great reputation. I'm actually in Owasso, a little rural but we love it!

Well, I'm still in the research phase, but pretty certain I will go to Tijuana, MX to dr. verboonen. Several people from around here have been to him in either tijuana or Cancun & have had great success & have had nothing but great reviews of his staff & facilities. My insurance covers no part of anything weight loss related so I'll have to pay out of pocket. The price they charge includes everything but the airfare so it's a more "do-able" option for me. Oh btw, I lived in owasso for part of my 5th grade year. It is a very nice place. :)

      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!
