Seems North Caolina is a hotbed for DS on Bariatric Pal, do you just have an disproportionate of surgeons doing them?

Im also from Raleigh NC. I actually work in Clayton NC. I had my DS on 31Dec2018. I was borderline obese and had a highly modified DS. I was diagnosed with hig blood pressure and pre-diabetes along with sleep ap so I qualified for the surgery.

Ive dropped 40lbs so far. My incisions are still sore actually!

My wife proceeded me with her DS Mid Dec 2018. She had a terrible start with major gas pains but quickly got over them. She is also doing well and progressing right along.

      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!
