September here I come!



Recommended Posts

I hear you. Now, I'm a nervous wreck because I don't know if insurance will cover me? Have to wait until August after my last RD visit to submit my case to insurance and then wait to see what the verdict is! But, yeah, I want this done yesterday!

I hope my surgery is in September. My final medically supervised diet appointment is the end of August and from what I hear, my insurance is pretty quick at approvals. I've completed all other requirements and my psyc appointment Aug 5th. I really hope the surgery happens the middle or end of September. :) My surgeon said as soon as we have insurance approval I will be put on the schedule for surgery pretty quick! I'm starting to get nervous/anxious but I made myself a list of all the reasons why I'm doing this and I have to keep reminding myself of these things.

I just got my date today and it is September 10th. I was hoping to do it in August but I had to work around work so September it is. I've been doing all the insurance hoops since January so an extra few weeks is okay. The reality is hitting me now so I'm pretty much a ball of nerves and self doubt right now.

I have September 19 in Tijuana Mexico with Dr. Louisianna Valenzuela. I am super excited. It is has been a long, tiresome road and I am so happy to be able to have this gift. A great tool to help me be the healthy person that has been waiting to come out. I hope to meet some of the other sleevers in Mexico. Can't wait to see everyone's pictures and hear your stories.

      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!
