Surgery approved & scheduled!



Recommended Posts

So I was looking at surgery the end if March but my work denied my time off because the schedule was out! I am an RN and there are only about 3 others trained to do my job and only 1 of them is almost fully trained to do it 100%!

So a few stressful days waiting for the approval from the insurance company it FINALLY came today! It only took 3 days but felt like forever!!! The surgery scheduler called today and we set it up for April 2nd, that way work will approve it!! Up to this point I have not been nervous at all but now finally am since it is all a go! BUT OVERALL SOOOO EXCITED TO END THIS CHAPTER OF OBESITY AND FEELING DOWN ON MYSELF & TIME TO START A NEW HEALTHIER LIFE!!!

Hello. I'm an RN too, and my surgery is scheduled for April 3. Exciting, but scary, too. Best of luck to both of you! I'll look forward to seeing how we all do. I think the support through this site is amazing.

      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!
