Recommended Posts

Hello, I just got approved yesterday. Have not set a date yet. They said Nicole the scheduler would be calling later this week!

Very exciting to be cleared for everything! Welcome to the group! I will add you to the unknown date list and move you up when you confirm a date!

I don't have a firm date yet but should be early December. I started this journey in late February. All my tests are done, 6 months of NUT is done. I have been approved by insurance and will get a firm date next week. I'll be 64 on Halloween so I'm probably the oldest one on this journey.

Welcome to the group and congrats on getting approved! My brother's birtday is Halloween too! Happy early birthday to you!

We haven't posted a lot of ages on here so not sure what our group age range is. Never too late to try to be the healthiest we can be!

I will add you to the unknown date list and move you up when you confirm a date!

I'm getting sleeved in Puerto Vallarta on December 12th. I will be revising from the band to sleeve. CW is 254 lbs and I'm 5'4" and 33 years old. My highest weight pre band (2005) was 293 and I got down to 209 for a split second before my band slipped and was then replaced. My GW is 150-160 lbs. Looking forward to getting to know you all while we anxiously await this new journey

Wow!! 62 people so far! It's amazing to know this number will grow as more people get their dates closer to December! Everyone should have a sleeve buddy for their specific date (hopefully)!

I go tomorrow for one of my last three visits before surgery. I'm nervous I doubt I have lost any this month has been rough on me. I lost my grandma who was like a mother to me on the 10th . Then I switched jobs on the 15th. And now we are dealing with our apartments management because someone stole our rent money order out of the drop box. It has been extremely stressful this month. I hope I have lost something when I see the surgeon tomorrow. Wish me luck

So sorry you are having such a rough month! Also terribly sorry about your Grandma.

Even if you did everything to a T, stress is enough to throw everything off. It is what it is, don't add more worry to yourself worrying about the appt.

Hope you are able to get things smoothed over before your surgery so you can focus on recovery.

Keep us posted!

YAY....another December 11th buddy! I think if I am looking at the list right, at this point, December 11th is the most popular date for surgery! They told me yesterday that I wouldn't know until the 10th what time my surgery will be...they schedule them the day before...I just hope it's early morning...I'm the first one scheduled for that day so far!

Congratulations...isn't it such a relief?

Yay! Congrats on getting your date! I moved you up on the list.

I'm trying to get my date penciled in. I only have one more thing to do and I am self pay. Hope to hear back from the scheduler to see if she is willing to save my date!

Love this big group too!

      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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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!
