Dr. Erin Cummins of River Oaks (Transformations) in Jackson is doing mine. I'm pre-op... Congratulations on your upcoming surgery. :) I know you're too excited. Please keep me posted of how things go. Save me a seat on the losers' bench! Good luck...

No, I don't have one yet. I'll complete health mgmt program tomorrow. So, hopefully they'll go ahead and schedule my EKG and Endo tests.

I'm from Perry/Greene co originally. I live in the FL panhandle now. Was so glad to see some back home peeps on here. I go home every few months. Not as much as I use to. My husband is stationed here now but that area will always be my home. My family is still there as well as my sons family. I had my surgery 4/30 ..nearly 7wks ago and I feel great!!

      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!
