Awesome! TheNEWME, I am much closer to you. I am just south of Beloit actually. Where at in the process are you?

I am going through UW Madison and planning on Jan 2013 having the sleeve. I get my date the end of Nov or the beginning of Dec (:

Hi!!! I am only actually about 2 weeks away from my surgery date of Oct. 30th! I'm going to Tijuana, MX and having the surgery done by Dr. Garcia. My health insurance won't pay for WLS, so I am choosing to pay for it myself.

I'm very excited and nervous. I start my 7 day pre-op diet the 21st, so that's when I believe it will really get real.

We should definitely keep in touch!!

Yes I would love to keep in touch!!! And its so sad insurance companies will not pay and force us to go to a different country :( But I am glad you are getting it done. I would go a tad bit earlier than your surgery to enjoy the nice warm temps :) its going to get yucky here this weekend

      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!
