Sitting in my pcp office. Waiting to see her so she will write the letter of support. She is very conservative. She has ally info from my Endocronoligist who recommended this. I have been trying not to get excited or think that I would really do this until after this appointment. I don't think I noticed how much I want this until right now. Please say yes....please. This will be the day that makes or breaks me.

Congratulations... asking my PCP was the hardest part for me in making the decision as well. In fact she didn't take me serious until I called a month later to find out why the referral had not been sent the bariatric center. It was a long year since I had to battle the insurance company right through until the last appeal. I had my surgery 12/28/11 and it's been the best decision of my life. I wish you the very best. I don't think you'll back out once you get fully inspired and are doing this for all the right reasons.

      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!
