    Dr T will most likely fix the hernia. He requires an endoscopy which is how these are found. For the followups, maybe they can be arranged for late on Fridays, or early Mondays, so you don't miss much work.

    I have lost nearly 80 lbs since December. I am thrilled with my weight loss. I've gone from having to sometimes where size 26 to wearing 16's (tops I still wear xl-2x because of loose skin on my belly and arms). The last few months have been slow, but that is okay, too. Dr T says I should be size 10 by Nov-Dec.

    Best of luck this week on your surgery. No worries, Dr T is the best. MHThW will take good care of you also.

    Sorry I was slow in responding. I am on vacation in Michigan visiting my daughter, so I've not gotten online very much. Going home in the morning, though. I should be packing... my life story - procrastination!

    Hey, good luck on your surgery. I'm sure your surgery will go as smooth as mine! I did have my surgery in The Woodlands, and got excellent care at Memorial Hermann. I did a 23 hour outpatient where surgery was in the am, and I was released the following am. I was self pay, so it kept the hospital portion down. I did get lucky and have my insurance kick in for the hospital since Dr T also did a hiatal hernia repair. And I do no exaggerate when I say Dr T is the best. I had many comments from nursing staff about Dr T, pre- and post-surgery, all positive. There is no better reference than the hospital staff.

    No clue on what size bougie he uses. I just know that I started out only able to eat about 1/2 cup (sometimes less) at a time. 6 months later, I am only able to eat about a cup at a time. Dr T will move you fast from liquids to soft to solid. I would recommend doing the followup. You are not there long, but you can get your questions and concerns addressed. Dr T has a great bedside manner, and is very approachable. Odessa is a long ways away, but still worth the followup. You only go back at about 10 days, then 30 days later, 6 months, and scheduled so far, at about 12 months.

    I'd love to hear more from you. Be sure to keep me posted!
