Insurance approved and now I'm anxious to get my surgery.

I have to go to my pre-op consult and then will find out my surgery date. Now that I know it's about to happen I'm having mixed emotions! I am an emotional binge eater. That doesn't help. Anyone else in my boat?

There are two birthdays and Easter this month...it's been a battle. So, have you given in to any cravings? You're right, it will end soon. Finally! I used to be thinner, a lot thinner! Pregnancy got me followed by a severe deep depression.

I was just having the same thoughts today. I just got the call that my insurance approved today and my surgery is set for May 21. I just got finished with vacation so I guess from here on my new life is about to begin. I kind of had my "fat funeral" on vacation. Didn't go crazy, just ate what ever I wanted knowing it would be the last time in a long time. I'm an emotional binge eater too so I'm most worried about that when stress becomes a factor.

Oh I bet it has been a "battle " and omg I totally gave in to cravings lol and then some... I'm trying to make mostly healthier choices but not always successful.. How about you? I used to be a thin person 10yrs ago, I wish I could claim pregnancy but being a guy that's not possible lol... My weight gain stems from stress and depression ???? I'm on the mend now so willing to change ????

Congratulations on the surgery date... I thought it would never come for me but finally it was my turn ???? what great timing with your vacay, I would have done the same with the enjoyment of food, on your trip!!! I'm worried about the stress binge eating type behavior myself.. I've got my first appointment with new shrink the day I start my liquid diet.. I figured I get started on that journey in regards to my weight. So hopefully that's the help I need to not binge/stress/emotional eat. Good luck to you and your journey.

I'm still waiting on the surgery coordinator to call me and give me a date! She said it will be by the end of next month for sure!

I had to call everyday where I go ???? I didn't wanna bug them, but realized real quick they can drag their feet some.

My surgery is in 3 days and I am starving and very emotional. Anyone have suggestions for getting through this?

      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!
