It’s been a while guys!! So between the last few months I’ve decided to switch hospitals & surgeons. Originally I was going to Froedtert in Milwaukee, WI... but now I’ll be with Northwestern down in Chicago. However, Northwestern won’t accept the appointments I’ve had (which is okay I guess... my insurance doesn’t require anything lol). So I have a dietician appointment this coming Friday & the following Friday meet with the surgeon. From there they’ll schedule the psych appointment. After that.. submission. I’m hoping for a July date! Here we go again with the waiting lol.. but I’m happy w/ the decision to switch! My sis had her surgery at Northwestern.

That's great news @danielleleigh90! I know it is another wait, but it sounds like you are more comfortable at a familiar institution. Keep us posted on how you are doing! ((HUGS))

Thank you! I've actually started looking into a separate doctor who will use the information for things I've already had done like the psych exam, edg, sleep study. He will also only have me complete one dietician visit. Northwestern wants me to do 4 visits even though my insurance only requires one! We will see what happens, my appointment is next thursday!

      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.

      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!
