Looking for 10/13 surgery buddies



Recommended Posts

I'm so sorry that they decided to postpone your surgery :(

Tomorrow is our big day!!!! Did anyone have to lose a specific amount of wait prior to surgery?

I needed to lose 13lbs before surgery, and so far I've lost 27lbs.

I did not. I had to go to supervised weight visits though for 6 months. Did you have to lose a specific amount?

Sadly, my insurance decided YESTERDAY that they need 3 more months of nutrition classes. I'm very upset, sad... So dissapointed because I've done EVERYTHING. I've been doing my liquid diet & all.

I gave myself Friday & Saturday to cry about it & although I'm still upset I'm staying to get over it.

My surgery has been rescheduled for January 19,15.

With that being said I want to wish ALL of you the best of luck tomorrow! Please keep me posted on your progress!

I am so sorry they decided at the last minute to cancel your surgery. =( Keep us posted on your progress!!!

I had to lose 10lbs before surgery but gained 12 during the 5 months of nutrition visits. So it turned into 22lbs. I am going in for the sleeve tomorrow if I lose the last 2.5 lbs today????

Good luck with those last 2.5 pounds!! Hopefully it will come off or be close enough for your surgeon to just give the go ahead =)

Well, I'm finally home from the hospital. I had to stay two nights bc I was having an issue with nausea. Things are going pretty good now though. Still feel sick if I don't pay attention when I'm drinking.

How is everyone else doing?

      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!
