Hi Angela! Congrats on your surgery date! I was told April 11th but still waiting for approval from my insurance. My doctors office ended up not submitting enough clinical info so they had to retract my request and resubmit. Makes me mad but... Hoping it al gets taken care of this time around!

Which surgery will you be having? I will be having bypass.

Where are you located in Pittsburgh? I'm in the south hills near the village mall. How about you? Where will you be having your surgery?

I was lucky & my approval was no problem. Hopefully yours gets all fixed soon. I'll be having gastric bypass at West Penn Hospital. I'm from the Harmarville area near the Mills mall.

Surgery is coming up soon & I'm just starting to get a little nervous. I'm happy that I'm doing it but it's all of the unknowns of what you'll feel like after surgery

I'm having gastric bypass at west penn hospital also! Is your dr Dr Eid? That's who I have. Maybe we will end up being room mates! Wouldn't that be crazy!?! Your a bit far from where I live but not crazy far.

I wish you the best with your surgery! Keep me posted on how you do and I wish you all the best. Are you on Facebook? I'm on there as Dawn Bistarkey. We can use messenger to chat. It would be alot easier. Let me know!

I'm on Facebook too under Angela bottles. Feel free to messenger me. My doctor is Dr Marr. Have you gotten your approval from insurance yet? I just had my pre-op appointment last week & the diet so far has been pretty easy (lost 156 lbs in 6 months), but the pre-op diet the week before of 3 Protein drinks a day us going to be the hardest as I just don't like them. In the end it will all be worth it.

Wait I'm confused. So you had the surgery already or didn't?

I got my date for April 26! I just got it yesterday! Happy and very scared at the same time! How bout you?

That's a nice weight loss! Good for you! Do you have any more to lose or are you about done?

      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!
