Hi Im glad I found this site! I got approved... But I don't see the surgeons till the 6th. I've already got a phyc who I've been seeing. Anyone know if I'll have to see her again? Also will the surgeon give me a date? I'm nervous, but I'm tired of this weight and people that I know personally asking me if I'm pregnant. Sigh

Congrats to both of you!!! I have my surgery on the 13th of June. My guess for you babydoll56 is that they will get your surgery scheduled within just a few short weeks of seeing the Dr. Good luck to both of you!!!

Thanks sooooo much guys! I've been praying for this for long. I got a phone call saying I was approved. I haven't told the drs which procedure I would like.... But after researching the sleeve procedure that's what I want. This is a good support forum.

Ok just got from dr appt Has anyone gotten the sleeve with mesh already in. I had my one on one with the dr and he said since I've had 2 hernia repairs he may not be able to do the sleeve. Has anyone experienced this.

I had two hernia repairs and a lapbad removal and my doctor didn't say it was a problem at all

Thanks so much for replying. I thought I would be getting sleeved much faster....especially when the patient advocate told me my surgery was approved ugh!!! I have to have 6 months of paper work from dr stating my weight etc. since I was seeing my dr already for the weight gain she was able to go back to April. Yeah !!!! So I've got July , August , and September. My consult with my nut is in August. I hope maybe they will speed it up lol.

      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!
