I still have a few pre-op conditions to satisfy. Hope to be done by Oct/Nov. Actually hoping for September but that seems unrealistic now. Congrats to TracyZ on the loss! :) and futureskinnypants, I'll be checking out your video blog from home. :)

Looking forward to losing with you all.

Hi!

I'm new to this board and considering getting the sleeve. Was just approved for the band but realized along with my doctor that the band was ntot the best option for me and the sleeve would be better. Due to some travel, I can't have it done until November. Looking to meet new friends and gain support and information as I go through this journey. It's scary!

Was wondering who everyone is using as their doctor and what your experiences have been!

My Dr. is Attia in South Jersey. We also decided that lap band was not my best option. I had my last NUT visit this morning and only need my psych eval. I have an appt for it on 9/11 but I'm trying to get into somewhere else sooner. Hopefully I can. Cannot wait to get my date. Super excited to begin this leg of my journey. Look forward to sharing with you. :)

Thanks Tracy. :) I'm a little southwest of that but can pick it up from route 9 without much problem.

If you don't mind me asking, how long did it take you to lose the 60? It seems the closer I get the more worried I become.

NUT visit went good and my psych is the 5th...freaking out.

      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!
