Happy 2006 Everyone!



Recommended Posts

Ok so I will start my journey of 2006 still unbanded, but in heavy pursuit!! Here is the amazing thing, I didn't gain during the holiday's, instead I actually lost 5 pounds. Whahoo! I am starting my workout routine today, and am going to try to eat as much as possible like a bandster till I get approved. Drink, drink, drink that Water. I know my insurance now (Aetna PPO) requires 3-6 months of doctor supervised diet. I worked with my doctor last month on the letter of medical necessity. I wonder if there is a way for me to write all my diets on my own for the past , hmmm forever and get the doc to sign it?? Naw she probably won't but hey it's a thought. I am going to have the surgeon go ahead and turn in all my stuff I have already to insurance and let them turn me down (if they do) why I am working on my doctor supervised stuff. I have doctor supervised stuff from 2002 but I know that will be too long ago. But I have had my physicological eval done, my nutritional eval done, and a letter of medical necessity from my PCP, cardiologist, & foot doctor, my BMI is 42, so what the hey why not send it all in. Thanks for listening guys and have a great new year!!!!

      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!
