Waiting for Holiday Break!



Recommended Posts

Soooo I am calling tomorrow to see if I am approved (which I am 99% sure I am) and hopefully schedule my surgery!! I am a teacher and am needing it done during Christmas break :)

AMYWAYS, I'm just totally freaking excited and cannot wait to lose this weight and hopefully feel way less pain in my every day life.

I am in the same boat. I am trying to get everything in order to have surgery over break. If I can't then I will have to wait until summer. I will find out in the next week or so if I am a December sleeve or a June sleeve. Good luck!

I'm in that boat too- however if it doesn't pan out during the holiday break then I will get surgery as soon as possible- putting my life on hold and my needs last is what got me here in the first place. There are plenty of substitute teachers in our district. The students will be fine.:-)

I will be going out a week before break & returning the Monday after my students return for the New Year. I work as a counselor at a school based youth services program within a high school. For me it's basically now or never, we operate a summer program transitioning 8th grades into 9th grade.

      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!
