Thanks for all the advice its nice to have someone to talk to who has been there... can you tell me about your surgery?

I had my surgery on 8/8/12. My starting weight was 376, and i was diagnosed with all the extra fixings. Diabetes, high cholestrol, high blood pressure, thyroid issues and more. My surgery was really smooth, i had one complication three weeks after a spent a week in the hospital. Ive been good since then. As of my last weigh in on Friday i am done to 271! I feel great! My energy level is up, my confidence is through the roof. Unfortunately b4 my surgery i did not know about thos forum, i went in to this blind. I did not know anyone else who went through this and i did i did not know what expect. The only i regret is not doing this sooner. Don't worry the whole process is not as complicated as it seems. Just be on top of what ur surgeon request of you and you will be ok.

The process was fast. It took about 3 month from start to finish.

Cool. I've seen my nut 2x. She said my last time will be just a weigh in when I meet with the surgeon may 16th. I see the psychiatrist on 4/22. I'm nervous but excited. I was just wondering how long it takes to be approve once submitted.

My friend did her sleeve with Dr. Bass. He is great! She had private insurance. Medipass only pays for gastric bypass.

      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!
