Anyone out there based in the Middle East? I am in Dubai and would love to get to know some more people going through this same journey in the area.

Reach out!

How about a part time Middle East worker. Oil field worker here, that spends half the year in the east and half back home in the US. Currently in Saudi trying to get to that oil, but have spent many months in Sharja, Dubai, & Abu Daubi.

Damamn and Kafjhi usually. Mainly I'm offshore, Damamn is where we fly into and Kafjhi is the port we leave out of.

Im moving to Saudi next year, I want to be as successful in this as possible....is there great doctors that I could go to for follow ups? I know it's a big country but I will be in Dhahran. Always worried if I'd have people out there who would relate to what I'd be going through. Surgery is scheduled for next month...moving in January.

      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!
