@@#9grammy same here. Should be right around 10/15 for my last registered dietitian appt. I'm really hoping for a November surgery, as well.

That should be me also! My last appt with my PCP will be mid October. Insurance approval takes a week. I am a teacher so I am trying to get surgery scheduled so that the week off at Thanksgiving is part of my recovery and I do not use my days.

Glad to have found our Month!

I'm hoping for November surgery - either just before Thanksgiving (so I use fewer sick days) or just before Veteran's Day (that's a paid holiday for me).

But I gotta be honest - I go to the initial seminar thingy on Thursday. I am REALLY just beginning, and my hopes for a timeline might not be realistic. I do know that.

But a girl can hope.

I'm right there with you, go to my seminar on Saturday. I'm fortunate, I've followed up with my insurance already and know that for their part I don't have a lot of hopes to jump through. We shall see, this journey is important though - it takes what it will take. Didn't gain it over night I suppose. :)

      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!
