On track for November Surgery



Recommended Posts

Anyone else with me?

I'm still in the early stages, as I still have 5 more PCP visits as well as my preop testing, but things will definitely start accelerating next week as those tests begin.

I'm excited about what lies ahead, but a little nervous as well. My BMI is flirting with 40, and I do have comorbidities, but I'm afraid of insurance rejection. Still, though, I'm going to push forward and see what happens. I have big plans for myself post-surgery and can't wait to see where I am a year from now!

I am also in the early stages of surgery. I just finished my 3rd nutritional visit in hopes of an October surgery date. I am slowly trying to learn to eat slower and not just scarf down my food. I am getting better. Because there is an app for that. :) Good luck with everything. And if you need a buddy. I will be here for you.

Me too! I'm prob in November but new on here ,plan on the sleeve !

Yeah, I keep thinking to myself the plans I have post surgery. I can't wait to see what I'll be like a year from now. I want to start working out, get active, have the self esteem go back to the pool or beach. Sucks that I pay all this money for insurance and they want to set stipulations to me having surgery.

I'm do annoyed I have to wait 6 months as well but I will probably live and learn a lot more and that's a better long term tool, read and get as much info as you can now!

I am new to the app and the forum. I have been researching GB surgery so I made an appt with my doc and have a surgeon in mind. Keep the faith that yours will be approved! I as 38 (39 on June 7th, my BMI is 52%. I have been searching for a place to chat with people with similar issues as mine. I don't want to turn 40 and feel like this, that is for sure. That's all for now, take care.

      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!
