Its My Turn....the New Me! Pics!



Recommended Posts

I started this journey a couple months ago. Hit a speed bump when my first mammogram showed a grape size mass. Had a biopsy its benign thank the good Lord. My mom died from it and my grandpa had it too. I need this weight off for my health and my families too. Had my surgical consult. My psych eval is scheduled as is my swallow study and fitness and nutritionist. I am blessed to have UHC on a low deductible and they cover it all at 80/20 with oop max at 1750$. Waiting is the tough part, all visits will be done by next week as will the closing of the short sale on my home. Damn what a year it has been and 2013 will start me off as a new woman! Comments support are welcome as I take this scarry road. Luckily I have a loving husband and beautiful 4 year old daughter.Congrats to us all on this journey"

Hi newbie I am hoping to be sleeved in November! I just a barium swallow done today! It truly was the most disgusting thing I have ever drank! I did awesome they said too! They have never had someone drink both cups so fast and keep it down. Once again my determination is boiling over. I had this done because I had an endoscopy done last year due to polyps in my stomach causing me severe pain. I really cannot to meet my bariatric coordinator on Monday and accomplish the psych eval and fitness visit next Thursday. Then all that's left is my nutritionist and we submit to insurancr for the pre certification! Smooth sailing is ahead and I am pumped! Thanks to all watching this thread and caring. Support is keeping me motivated as well as a brighter future free from the restraint of this weight! I can conquer the world without it! You will all bear witness! BTW my name is Tiffany!

      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!
