Got Approved And My Surgery Date Today!



Recommended Posts

I got my surgery approval yesterday and my surgery date today and have been so excited and elated all day! I am scheduled for September 14 and that is the perfect time for me with work and home and everything! Now, I just need to complete all the pre-op stuff and get prepared! Light at the end of the tunnel. And, I know that the real work is just beginning, but boy am I excited and ready to begin the journey! :D

I know the feeling - welcome to the September sleeve club!! I'm Sept. 10th....and counting the days, literally!! Need to purchase a couple more items, like Calcium chews and chewable Vitamins since i bought the gummies but doc says chewable. plus a heating pad (I think my kids used my old one a few years ago when they were nursing some kittens).

CONGRATS!!

I was never afraid of the WLS, I was concerned about the possible hard work after the fact.

You must be diligent. I have confidence in you that you'll do great :)

You have the rest of your life to happily enjoy good health, happiness and whatever else comes your way through this wonderful journey through sleeveland

WLS 9/14/12

good luck

Thank you everyone so much! This forum has answered so many of my questions, and good luck to everyone else that is in September. I know my list of things I still need to get is getting longer every minute now that I know I only have 4 weeks. I just plan to stay on the plan right now and take one step at a time!

      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!
