Surgery date September 20



Recommended Posts

And the good news keeps rolling in. A little while ago I posted that I had received my approval letter yesterday in the mail. This morning I called the surgical nurse/coordinator to let her know about the letter (the Doctor said IBC usually lets their insureds know before they let the surgeons know about approval/denial). Anyway, they received a copy of the letter and right then and there, on the phone she gave me my surgery date!!! She also went over my liquid diet, when to start it, etc. I am beyond estatic. My face hurts from smiling so much. Can this day get any better???

Yay for another September sleever. Nanu, zoelifechick, and lorip are being sleeved the 20th also, so you'll have plenty of sleeve sisters. Check out the September board, lots of great people on there.

I will certainly have to check out the September board. This is such an amazing feeling and I haven't even had the surgery yet!

Yay, how exciting! I'm expecting to be sleeved on the 20th or 21st, but won't know for sure until tomorrow when I go see my surgeon. Congrats!

      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!
