27 days after my surgeon submitted my paperwork and clearances, I got the call today that I've been approved! The next call I receive will be from the surgical scheduler with some possible dates! I am so excited!!

For Michigan Straight Medicaid, I had to have an echo, EKG, stress test, chest xray, A1C labs, other blood labs, and a psych consult. No 3-6 month medical diet.

I'm 5'9 and my BMI is 45. I have HBP, I'm pre-diabetic, I have arthritis in my hips, knees, ankles and neck, venous insufficiency of the lower extremities, stress incontinence, and random rashes. I've had estrogen-positive breast cancer, which let to a complete hysterectomy. My thyroid function is perfect.

I cannot begin to tell you how thrilled I am and how determined I am to do the hard work ahead of me!

WOOT!!

      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!
