I saw my surgeon for the first time in December and have been doing the 6 month supervised diet with my regular Dr. I have 2 more supervised visits before I get my insurance approval. Hopefully there won't be any problems getting approved. My surgeon said they can schedule surgery 2 weeks after approval. So, I could be looking at an early August surgery day. Just in time for my birthday! :-)

I start my liquid diet in two weeks.

I've been stocking up on Protein powder and canned things I'll need for purée in the first weeks after.

I ordered opurity chewable Vitamins for bariatric surgery. I ran out of my normal Multivitamin and started on them.

They are huge!!!! I hate chewable vitamins and these the five times the size of the typical chewables.

I don't know how I'm going to choke them down.

@meganski I think you already sent me a private message and I got it earlier so I can add you. If not send me one so I can find you on FB. The page is set on secret so people cant find it even by the link anymore. We did that to protect the privacy of members on the page. There are a few that arent telling people. Our page is for summer sleevers June, July and August. Our first surgery out of our group os tomorrow.

Hello everyone,

My info was submitted to insurance on 5/18- There is a 15 business day turn around and now it is the waiting game. My coordinator said we should be ready to roll late June early July.

      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.

        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!
