Recommended Posts

Well I have everything done. Been approved by insurance, seen the dr. Now I have to wait till Oct 9th to see the nutritionist ughhh why so long?? I'm ready to start this adventure. I know it will be worth it but this is going to be the longest month ever!!! They said as soon as I see the nutritionist then they will set up surgery but wow another month to wait as you can tell I'm ready for this.

I'm a pest, I'd be calling every morning to see if there are any cancellations! LOL

It seems forever, but it gives you time to prepare. To research fun recipes you can make when you're on post op liquids/mushy. You'll find ways to pass the time!

Find out why. Does the nutritionist have no other free appointments? Ask them if you can call every couple days to ask if there was a cancellation. Do they space the appointments out that way for a reason? I would ask if there is anything sooner.

Thanks I think Tuesday I will call and ask, maybe if I continue they will get me in sooner lol. I'm just ready for this and having to wait a month for the nutritionist sucks. I know my dr just moved to different off ice and hospital so that may be the reason but a whole month geez lol I'm so impatient.

A lot of insurances companies are requiring a 6 mos dr supervised weightloss program( at least mine did) and I have been waiting since last January!!!! Soon it will be a year and I still have no scheuled date for the service

am not prepared for what's to come. How ever ready all of these post keeps me motivated.

      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!
