I remember someone saying there's a site where you can buy Protein Powder samples, does anyone know that site?

Scheduled for surgery on June 16th! It's starting to feel real now! Anyone else on the 16th?

Surgery for me is tentatively scheduled for 6/18. We are still looking for a co morbidity so that my insurance will cover. But if they don't pay I will pay for it myself. I will have a gastric sleeve. I am 5'3 ". 215 lbs. my last test is a sleep study next week.

Yes 5 precious babies that I want to be around along time for..... When is your surgery

Tentatively scheduled for June 18th. My surgeon is still trying to find a co morbidity so that insurance will cover. I will pay for it myself if insurance doesn't pay. I have 3 Grandchildren ages 18, 13 and 9. I have 2 grown sons and a wonderfully supportive husband. I work as an RN helping women who have just been diagnosed with breast cancer. Hope to retire end of this year

      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!
