Just Received The Best News!



Recommended Posts

Last week I received my surgery date, 8/28/12. I was a little bummed because I was hoping for it to be sooner... WELL, the coordinator just called and said there was an opening next week 8/14!

Luckily, I have been following the pre-op diet for a few weeks in hopes of this happening. I go tomorrow for my pre-op appointments and then I only have a week to wait.

I am so ready, so excited, and so grateful for this life changing opportunity that I just can't wait to get started.

Now excuse me while I get busy reading all of the great advice posted on this forum!

an opening next week!

carolc

the fact that you got an earlier date is super wonderful., good sign ;)

not having time to worry as much is great, now you can be real excited, and of course maybe a little nervous too - all feelings are typical/normal

9 days before WLS, i was told dr needed to reschedule my WLS :angry:

i was so upset - it was a 3 week delay :(

good luck on WLS

speedy recovery

thank you, thank you! I am just so glad that (if all goes according to plan) that I will be able to get my kids to and from school at the end of August, instead of being in the hospital while they start. That was a big thing on my worry list!

Deana, that has to be so hard! I feel very lucky that I get to eat food (no fat, 1,000cal) up until Monday afternoon. We are having a bunch of out of state family coming over Sunday...and my family loves a sunday meal, this will be one last challenge for me.

We are so close to our date, it hardly seems real!

Take care

      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!
