Weigh in surprise



Recommended Posts

Ok so I went to do my final nutrition apt and exercise appt this morning. Then afterwards I jaunted over to the Dr office for my second weigh in. At the end of my allotted 5 minutes. (Ok it was longer but feels like just 5) he says ok let's get this submitted to the insurance and get you scheduled.

Ok sounds normal right! But the surprise was that I thought I had another month of weigh ins! I looked at him confused and said huh. That's not right. Well they count the first visit as month one of the weigh in.

I had a holy crap moment this is going to happen really fast. It's like going to a vacation spot you always wanted to go.... London, Paris and you plan for it but it's just planning until you actually get on the plane and it's real. And it's gonna happen fast. Two weeks for ins approval. 10 days for pre op liquid diet and 10 days for any possible delays. Scheduled my surgery for November 4.

On a really funny and dry humor side I'm thinking if how much money I'm going to save during the holidays cause I'm not gorging on huge feasts.

Hi micmt

Be very happy your doctor is right on point. I had finish everything by the end of March and didn't get a date until Aug. I thought by now I would be well on my way instead of just getting started. So congratulations and yeah it's getting real.

      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!
