I am expecting to have my surgery in January - I just received my insurance approval. It's funny - I was confident and relaxed until I got the letter. Now I'm feeling nervous. I'm still looking forward to it, though.

Hello to all,

I don't have a date yet. I did my pych eval on last Monday and this Monday I met with the nutritionist and get my gallbladder ultrasound. The coordinator says after Monday she will submit it all to insurance, once approved I can make a apt to come see the Surgeon and set a date. She said surgery should be in Jan as long as insurance approves. I started this journey 04/18/2013. I am excited to join this online support group and look forward to reading about all your journeys

I don't have a set date as of yet but my final appt with my nutritionist is Dec 23rd, then everything gets submitted to the insurance company for approval...hopefully Cigna cooperates and my surgery gets scheduled by the end of January!! Keeping my fingers crossed!! :)

Hi All! I just signed up for bariatric pal, but have been lurking for a while. I am scheduled to be sleeved by Dr. A Lopez on January 8 at Mi Doctor Hospital in TJ, Mexico! I hope to find a sleeve buddy that will be there around that time, as I will be traveling alone.

Just a couple days over a month to go, and I can hardly wait! I am so ready for this!

      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!
