I know that I'm only half way through my insurance mandated weight loss, but I am getting SO excited! I had my third weigh-in today and lost another five pounds and was able to get all but one appointment made. The last on (for my endoscopy) can't be made until after I see my GI Dr. at the end of September. One of the best parts of today was all the encouragement I got from everyone at the family practice clinic I go to. My Dr. and all the staff are very happy and excited that I am having RNY. They have worked hard to make sure that I have all my weigh-in appointments when I need them and are more than willing to work around all the Bariatric clinic appointments. After losing my two most encouraging doctors at the first of the year, I never expected to end up with two doctors willing to do everything they could to move me forward on this exciting journey!

I am one week behind you. Monday is my third weigh in. It really has gone by quick. I am guessing is probably won't have surgery until January though. It is exciting.

My insurance requires 6 complete months of overview by my doc so that will actually require 7 weigh ins. Then insurance submittal and approval..then surgery scheduling. I will be happy IF I get early January...but that really is the perfect time for me.

      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.

      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!
