Recommended Posts

Just recently joined from Brandon, Manitoba - going next week for second meeting with surgical nurse, dietician, and kinesiologist. Hopefully get the go ahead to meet with the anesthetist and surgeon pre-op.

Morning PP is Dr chris Andrews your surgeon? He was mine and he is very good. Maybe I,ll see you at one of our peer group meetings for Victoria General group. My surgery was May 31 and I am down to 218 lbs, I haven't been this light since the late 80's, I feel great and I am getting use to the fact that food tastes different to me and is not as dissireable as before.

Good luck! It is usually bypass but you can request the sleeve. If you're with TWh you will more than likely get it but do your research - Bypass is the gold standard of weight loss surgery. If you do end up at Toronto Western, be sure to call regularly for cancellations- it will significantly reduce your wait times. I have 2 friends still waiting for surgery- I had mine on January 9th.

      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.

        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!
