I'm in NC. Congrats on your date!!! I have 4/6 supervised diet visits on the 28th of this month so I'm hoping for an August/September date.

DonaiA- best wishes on a speedy approval for your surgery. I was lucky and didn't have to go through the supervised diet. I can't believe my sleeve is just a month away!

Overall it has been good. I have had a couple.. Only a couple of I wish I hadn't did this.. That's because my mind wanted to eat , eat , eat... However I'm not even hungry.. It's battling the mind...I wouldn't change a thing.. I have lost 22lbs..

Hi, I am also from NC and I have my first appointment with the surgeon on Monday the 19th. I am hoping that I won't have to have a long supervised diet, but I keep telling myself that even if it is six months from now, that is better late than never!

Dr David Voellinger, what about you?

I'm going through SE Bariatrics too but Dr. Kolosch(sp) is doing my sleeve.

Hello everyone! I'm in the Raleigh area and just had my consult yesterday at Bariatric Surgeons of NC (in Cary). Looks like I have a 6 month weight check/supervision required by insurance so my last check will be oct 21st. I imagine surgery sometime in November.

I was expecting a 3 months supervised diet but turned out to be 6, not too bad though bc I'm still trying to get my hubby on board ????

      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!
