I understand completely. I've had 5 back surgeries so I guess I'm an old pro at stuff like that. Lol

Hello tazi I was just at Dr goldstein seminar I also have horizon and and really excited to get the sleeve if you need some help just let me know I have done tons of research good luck

That is cool that you were at the seminar as well. I was able to bring my two biggest supporters with me, my son and niece. I felt more at ease to see he is also anal and has a great sense of humor. The first funny thing that happen when I got there was when I had to sign in Eva, was super happy and goes you mist be April. All I could do is laugh. My niece was shock that Eva know who I was before asking for my name. It was priceless! I feel can trust Dr Goldstein. Where do you live at? What have you done so far?

Wow I think I driving my the receptionist at my surgeon's office.....lol. I spent most of my Thursday making phone calls after I was done work. It took me three day 36 hours later I finally find a psychologist that can do my clearance. I was able to get an appointment in April. On Monday I have schedule appointments for a cardiologist, gastroenterologist, pulmonarist, and to get an EDG done. So hopefully by the time I see my surgeon I will be a head of everything. I started grocery shopping for the pre and pro-op.

u have to get tested for all of that .. woooow?!

n I'm complaining bout one thing...

      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!
