So,I had my dietician appt yesterday. I loved it,it was very educational. =) I was nervous for nothing at all! I went in and she weighed me and checked how tall I am. I have lost 9 pounds in 3 weeks from cutting out all drinks but Water and Protein Shakes, and lowering my carb intake-ALOT. =) I have one more pound to lose as the 10 lb requirement for my surgery!!!! YEAAHHH!!! =))) They said I can lose down to 235 before surgery (I started at 268,am now 259) and still qualify so I'm not gonna stop I'm too excited. =) So she said I was very enthusiastic and educated on the sleeve (thank you vst!!) and seemed to be the perfect candidate for it. Now I just have to take my 4 hour nutrition class and go to my psych eval on the 7th then they will send off for insurance approval!!! My surgery will either be on December 29 or one of the 1st days in January. Yipppeee. I am beyond excited. I hope I heal at least a little before my twins' first birthdays on January 10th so I can have fun with them on their big day. =)

      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!
