Anyone from Vermont....?



Recommended Posts

Hello, I am going through the process in Vermont and wondering if anyone else is?

It is a 6th month process so the office won't even be able to send it into the insuranc company until September, it seems so long?

I am from South Burlington Vermont. I was sleeved December 16th so it has been almost 5 months. I started at 309 last March and am at 200 today. I would love to be at around 140 when finished. I have been in a stale for around 3 weeks but I hear that happens. I started at a size 22-24 and am now a 14-16.

Great success! Your stall will end! Who was your doctor? I'm assuming you went to FAHC.

I'm also from Vermont. Can't afford the $47,000 dollars so I'm going to Mexico with Dr Rams Kelly. Have my upper GI endoscopy and baring test on 6/25 at FAHC and results on 6/27.

      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!
