That's awesome! I got one of the original Ninjas for a wedding gift 3 years ago (definitely less than $50) and it has always worked great, best blender I've ever had. I can only imagine how good the newest ones are!

Hello Fellow December Sleevers!

Is everyone here going through insurance or are there any self-paying sleevers? I will be in MX during the first week of December (still finalizing my choice of surgeon and therefore date).

Hi Healthbound-

I'll be using my insurance (Kaiser So Cal) for this procedure. My co-pay will be $250.00. Have you narrowed down your surgeons to just a couple? Which doctor does your gut say to pick?

I will be December 17th Dr. Carcamo here in San Antonio. So excited I am 27 and have lost about 20 pounds so far on nutritionist diet plan. But I am terrified about loose skin. But I am ready to be healthy again. I just changed jobs. I am a hairdresser and am now at a fast paced salon. I have only told the owners and the manager and decided to ask off from Dec 17th to Jan 6th just so I am back to 100% and can keep up once I am back.

I'm sure you'll do great! So nice that you'll have some recovery time! The skin issue has so many factors such as how long you've been overweight, genetics and age in general. I know for a fact that my skin will be a mess; however, I do terrible with surgeries so I will live with it. Plus, I'm 40, have an amazing husband (pretty cute too) and he loves me now like this, I'm sure he'll love me wrinkley too! If I were younger and dating, I KNOW i'd be a lot more concerned!

Welcome to the group! Looking forward to following along!

Hello All

I will complete my pre surgical classes on Nov 7. Then it is on to see the surgeon and insurance approval. I am hoping for a December date for surgery.

Congrats on getting so close! I only have a couple of things to mark off the list as well! Hopefully we can both get our dates soon!

      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!
