So I was going through one clinic & they had more pre-op qualifications then I thought I could handle, come to find out this other clinic aren't asking for nearly as much so I will be able to have my surgery sooner!! I can't wait I am so excited!!! I started this process last year and was 3/4ths the way done all I had to do was lose 10% body fat and move on to the surgery!! However I got cold feet needless to say I had decided I wasn't ready!! But now I am super ready and I can't wait!!!! I don't have as much pre-op qualifications so it will be quick from this point and I am so happy that I am ready for this step finally!!

happy that ready for this step finally!!

@@Sleevie.Nicks

that is great

i've heard others get cold feet right before surgery

then they stop the process

no one should have this surgery if they are too scared, nervous

not sure of having surgery

so you stopped the plan for surgery

then after awhile you realized you really want to go ahead :)

sounds like NOW you are ready :)

keep reading the boards

you'll hear about lots of things you need pre-op and {PO)

discussions about things you hadn't thought of

questions will be answered

you ask your questions

make sure you are prepared for the big day :rolleyes:

read, read, read

look into some books

ie bariatric surgery for dummies

they also have a cook book

look at U-tube

flood of information allll over

buy Protein shakes

don't buy too many ahead of time :huh:

taste buds change

what you might like now

possibly you won't like PO :angry:

happy you "came to your senses" ;) and are proceeding with surgery

good luck :rolleyes:

There's a sweet release that can never be matched when you make the decision to proceed with surgery, and then realize suddenly one day that magically it has slipped over from possibility to reality!

You are well on your way to a whole new life full of promise and happiness. Never look back because your glorious future lies ahead!

      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!
