I am down to the final appt. For the surgery. Is any having their surgery at Denver Health? As time gets closer I am becoming more nervous. I think I'm in need of a help buddy.

It is a struggle with them to get information. I am a planner and I was told I am getting ahead of myself. Hard to make informed decisions that way. I have no date at this time but hopefully they will let me know someday as I'm considering changing providers to have this done.

Friday I go in for an upper endoscopy with a 48 pH test.

I can't delete posts.

Why is the test done? I'm still waiting for the coordinator or anyone to explain this to me.

The coordinator called today and is canceling the test. The test is if I was getting the sleeve. The disconnect is a struggle for me. I am a planner and I research everything.

Upper endoscopy, also called EGD, is done to visualize the anatomy of the esophagus, stomach and first segment of the small bowel, the duodenum. Hiatal hernia, ulcers,and other abnormalities that may complicate or prevent safe surgery can be found. A pH study is usually done to detect acid reflux.

Hope this helps. Mary

I have a nutrition appointment next Thursday. My current weight loss according to my scale is 10 lbs down. I'm hoping to keep the weight off for my appointment. I am a freaking yo-yo. Weight up weight down. Has anyone been denied surgery because they can't keep the weight off? I have been searching post about this and for pre surgery weight loss. I have noticed my weight goes up when I work 4 12 hour shifts together.

Looking for support and tips.

No juices no soda

Small meals I bought a baby plate and the silverware to eat from

20 minute meals

I walk .5 miles twice daily on my days off. As a nurse I don't walk on the days I work.

Increased my Water intake.

Very rarely do I eat prepackaged foods

If I don't eat I lose the weight but that's not healthy.

What can I do?

HW to date is 275. ????

Feeling like I've failed and I never had a chance.

      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!
