September surgery



Recommended Posts

I am so bummed! Found out that once my insurance is approved (probably the first week in Sept) that the surgeons here are scheduling 6-8 weeks out! So that means I will likely have my surgery closer to NOVEMBER! Ugh - I am so ready to do this NOW. I had no idea it would take that long once I did my part. Now what do I do? I had everything ready, my Protein Shakes, my Vitamins, my blender, my head wrapped around all of this, support lined up, I'm all psyched ... now having to put all my emotions on hold just seems like torture!

Sorry to hear that!! It's so frustrating! I had my approval from insurance in March, but had to wait until July for various personal reasons (work mostly). But, it went by so fast! Hang in there! It'll be here before you know it ;-)

Hello! How is everyone doing? My surgery is September 2nd and I started the liquid diet today. I've done one shake, and I'm pretty terrified of turning into a huge cranky b*tch. This is my biggest fear. :)

I know we're all kind of nervous and feeling loads of emotions (I know I am!) but I thought it might be fun to see what we were looking forward to after surgery? I cannot wait to throw out all my fat clothes. And sit in a chair without fear of it shattering! :)

What about you?

Me, me, me!! I'm schedule for Sept 2nd! I'm so excited! I was nevous for other appts but now I'm pretty calm, just marking every day off the calendar. I'm sure as it gets close, I will be out of my mind with nervousness.

I'm happy that there are several of us going though this together. I wish you all the very best of luck!

We need to stay in touch! :)

I'm looking forward to finding a bra that fits!! I'm fairly small chested (B cup) but big around (44) so finding a bra in this size is so hard and when I do find one, the fit is just miserable. I want my diameter to match my cup size so I'm looking forward being a 36, or maybe even a 34 B! Yea!

New to this site, my surgery is scheduled on 9/2. I am on day one of my pre surgery diet. Just received word that insurance approved. I am excited but nervous at the same time. Would appreciate some buddies to support each other along the way.

There are lots of us on September 2nd! I, too, am not the biggest fan of the liquid diet but it's not as bad as I thought it would be. :) I felt sick yesterday (lightheaded, nauseous, so spacy) but am feeling loads better today. I'm likeing Chike shakes the best so far. :)

      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!
