Insurance Approved! Surgery date August 27th!



Recommended Posts

I found out yesterday that I was approved and my doctor's office went ahead and scheduled my pre-op appt. for August 20th and surgery for August 27th! I am so excited!!! :D My doctor required me to lose 13 lbs prior to my surgery and I had lost that, but then gained a few lbs over the past month. I have been trying to lose it the past 2 weeks, but haven't been able to. I decided to go on the liquid diet and see it that helped...which it did! :rolleyes: Today is my 3rd day and I have lost 3 lbs. I still have to lose 1 more pound before the 20th, but my goal is to lose 2-3 more lbs just in case my doctor's scales are slightly different than mine. I have also been trying out some new Protein Shakes and found several recipes that I like. I ordered the unflavored Unjury and got it in the mail today. I will try it tomorrow. :huh:

      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.

      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!
