Finally got the ball rolling!



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone!

So on Wednesday night i went to the WLS info session after researching and contemplating and being discouraged by 2 PCPs. I got all my paperwork in on the same night and now I have to wait to be called about setting up my 3 appointment. I am SO excited, after 20ish years of every diet, excersize plan and fad I will finally (hopefully) see some real results.

Looking forward to being nosey and hearing all about everyone's journey :)

It's exciting to get started! I go for my testing Monday. Ugh. Labs and all that fun stuff!

Yeah it is very exciting! I went for my initial appointment last Thursday and now I'm waiting for my sleep apnea test to come, started my exercise routine and started watching what I've been eating. Exciting times ahead!

I'm really not looking forward to needles. Lol!! The idea of surgery doesn't scare me too much but blood draws and IVs are my least favorite thing haha

Yeah I am not a fan of that stuff, but it's necessary. I have upper gi, chest X-ray, and abdominal ultrasound. Plus labs. Nothing else was required. I also see a cardiologist before surgery will be scheduled. Hope it all goes smoothly!

Grrrr so the coordinator called me today and I was so excited, thought it was to start scheduling the 3 appointments they require but no, to tell me that they can't do that until my PCP faxes my info over... which they said they did.... and they didnt. Grrr. I'm impatient anyway but this just pisses me off. :/

      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!
