Christmas is finally over



Recommended Posts

Wow, is it ever hard to stay away from food on the holidays, I have just started this journey and know its at least 6 months for approval. No one calls back, Insurance is tricky and I need to loose some weight. This body of mine does not handle the lbs well. I'm going to start again today with the requisite phone calls but don't expect to hear anything until after the New Year. Why is it so hard to write in this forum??? I'm not sure why it is required... but if it will get me to the end of this journey I will continue to do so. Having some doubts.

Your Insurance or doctor is making you write in this forum?

Is that right?

That's... Well.. Just weird.. But if it's required that you write here, I would suggest that you read here MORE importantly..

I cant imagine being told I must write in this forum. But you will find that being able to write your thoughts down does help. I agree reading is the most important tool this forum has to offer.

You are not required to write here. Lol

It just helps to discuss and participate each step of the way. This journey is not a simple one and communicating with others who are going through the same thing is supportive in itself.

Good luck!

      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!
