I am just starting my journey but I feel I will be here often wanting support. I am really excited to see when I will get my sleeve. Anyone one else her self pay? How long did you have to wait? I'm going to Lenexa.

I'll be thinking about you on Thursday!

I was self pay also & they scheduled my surgery very quickly, I think within a month to 6 weeks.

Hoehn will be my Doctor too! My first consultation is tomorrow. Sooooo excited. So ready for this. Mentally preparing and ready for change. I have many questions for the nut already and have made plans for what I need to consider and do. It is so helpful to read others posts and hear about what to expect. I feel ready. Bring on the liquid diet ...proteins and veggies lets go!!! I'm gonna rock this! Anyone else feel this way before WLS? I see a lot worried or having second thoughts, I just wanna get this started and I'm so excited to reset my metabolism and start my journey!

I'm from St. Louis. Dr. Eagon will be doing my surgery Feb 1 at BJ west. I am in the process of getting Vitamins and stocking the pantry. I found a great Protein Shake at the vitamen supplement store. The guys there let you try samples before purchasing. I like strawberry the best. I tried Isopure grape and did not like it at all. I also have orange and passion fruit also but I'm very hesitant to try . Does anyone have a favorite non flavored Protein Powder? Good Luck to Everyone!!!

Chris Eagon I had been trying to go to him at one point in my life. But he had a waiting list 5 yrs long. Then when it was finally my turn I paid cash for all dr visits then my ins. Denied my surgery. That was 10 yrs ago but I heard nothing but good things about him. Goodluck on your new life.

      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!
