Well, here I go!!! My 3 hour appointment is this afternoon. I have turned in all of my "stuff" required by the doc. I am picking up some records of supervised weightloss to add to the pile. I have kept a bra and my favorite skinny pants from the past. I was looking at them last night and I showed my pants to my son. He about fell off his chair. He has never seen me thin. He couldn't believe that they were my pants! I showed my husband my bra, and he couldn't believe I have saved it all these years. I think he is still skeptical as I have tried everything to be able to loose weight. Nonetheless, he is super supportive of the whole thing.

My only stress is my insurance company. We have been with them for 7-8 years, and it is a small employer funded trust. They have always sent things through approval at lightning speed and we have never had a problem getting anything approved, so I am hoping this is the case. I have met all of their criteria, and they have paid all of my claims that I most likely wouldn't have had if I had been thinner.

I am so looking forward to starting my 3 month pre-surgery weightloss that my doc requires. It's not a pre-op thing, they just probably want to see how we follow directions and if we want to exercise. I do both, so that will be a relief for me. I am meeting with the doc and the nut. So EXCITED!!! :D

      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.

      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!
