Recommended Posts

I just received my surgery date - my VSG will be December 8th, 2015. I was approved by insurance last week. I hope these 8 weeks go by quickly! Nice to meet you all :)

I'm December 8th, 2015 also! I'm from WI having surgery at Froedtert in Milwaukee. Good luck with everything!!! ????
I was scheduled for December 14 but moved it up to the 8th. I'm scared, excited, nervous, etc.

Just did my last weight management class today. They said everything should be submitted hopefully tomorrow and then it's the waiting game.

My last visit before submitting is

Nov 13. I can not wait to wait on the final countdown :). Good luck

It has been a lot of emotions for me too. I am nervous, impatient, excited, scared. I feel ready, but have so much to do! Glad to share the date with you too.

OOPS I guess my attempt at multi quote didn't work as I was replying to cj76 & cookie_queen and anyone else interested in being friends either on this site or the other one mentioned.

I am also on myfitnesspal as ssbeadlady. Look me up and send an invite if your interested in being friends there.

I had my 5th visit this past Monday. I didn't lose as much as I should have as my body is doing the usual. Lose good for 2 to 3 months and than stop. So far lost 29 pounds of the 6 months supervised diet. Have one more month to go. All my paper work has to be into the surgeon by Nov 21 and I have 2 Dr that haven't sent in their eval yet despite me telling them of the deadline. My Dr is going out of the country for the holiday so it looks like some time in Jan. A week before the surgery I have a 4 hour workshop I have to attend and it is on a Tuesday which is one of the 2 days I work. Can't change the workshop so I will miss another day of work in addition to all the time off for the double surgery. Oh well I need them both and will not let anything stop me. Good luck to everyone who has upcoming surgery. A brand new life is coming to us all.

I am hoping for a December sleeve. Got all my appointments done except one more (hopefully) psyc meet.

I just hope I can get it done before end of the year for insurance sake!

hi ! I will send you a PM with my email address and you can add me on my fitness pal. Great tool. 13 days till my last NUT visit and I will get my surgeon appointment that day. So hoping they can work me in the following week to send my paperwork off to insurance approval. I am ready I can't wait. I have read Aetna is taking about a week to approve so I'm hoping for first week in December. How nice would it be to be 20 lbs lighter by New Years.

      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!
