Recommended Posts

My guy cant schedule until I get my nut appointment which is Aug 17...upper gi on the the 7th of Sept so hopefully I can get the sleeve end of sept maybe 1st or 2nd week of Oct.

Anyone else scheduled or hoping to be sleeved in September? I am finishing up my pre-op stuff, have a NUT appointment next week, then need my Upper GI, one more NUT apptmt in August and should hopefully have a surgery date the second week in September! Can't, can't, can't, wait!!!

Wow, it seems so many of us are starting to get ready for September! I am so excited for us.

Who is doing a pre-op diet? And when are you starting?

@NewMe86: Not really, maybe more of a last drink or two or three... or every weekend until August, lol. I've been kind of saying good by to alcohol. It is kind of hard to be a college student and not drink, so I am kind of getting my last hoorah out of the way or at least until six months after surgery. I've been low carbing it since May, and I can say I think I am okay with food for now, but I am definitely coming to realize I am saying goodbye to a lifestyle now too. I definitely won't be the quintessential college student anymore.

I may be September, but hopefully August! I have completed all steps. The insurance approval was received July 15th, so now am waiting for the scheduler to call. I was told the surgery would be in 'about' 4 weeks!

Excited, nervous....Not looking forward to two week pre-op diet!

Hey all my september sleevers!!! Me and my doctor are shooting for a september date as well. I have finished 90% of all my testing. I have to do a sleep study, chest x-ray & have a venus doppler test and that's it! I'm so excited to finally be making that change to healthier/happier me. I have a million emotions I go thru and it seemed like september would take FOREVER to get here and look its damn near August. I'm wishing all the best of luck and hoping we all graduate to that loser's bench with honors, lol!! I'll be watching everyone's process.

Well I'm finish everything,I got my approval letter from my insurance company last week Thursday. I'm waiting for the nurse to call me for my History/Physical appt. at that time I'll get my surgery date. I'm thinking the second week of September, will be my surgery. Is anyone nervous or it's just me?

I received insurance approval July 15th. I waited and waited to hear from my WL surgeon. Finally, after leaving two messages with them, they called and told me that they are more than 12 weeks backed up on surgery and they were trying to figure out how to solve the problem. I started the process today with a different WL dr and hope to have my surgery within a month.

      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!
