Did you get in for February?

I'm scheduled for VSG for 2/13. I'm looking forward to it. Fortunately, I have a very busy schedule for the next six weeks so I'm expecting the time to just fly by.

Are you still set for February 13th? I'm on my liquid diet. What about you?

Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

Very likely...seeing surgeon Jan 6 to discuss.

Not that I want the holidays to fly by...but I want this ball rolling.

Did you ever schedule your surgery?

Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

Yes, Feb 7...but I had to switch from a local surgeon to MX after the costs started to add up. I know I'll be in excellent hands with Dr. Illan. I've had 3 co-workers go with him and rave.

Happy birthday! So far the diet hasn't been bad. I had a mild headache days 2 and 3. I am not sure I am doing it correctly. I am allowed pureed Soups on mine, so I have a shake in the AM and then pureed broth based Soup for lunch and dinner. Snacks are sugar free Jello. My calories are about 500/day and I've lost 16lbs in 10 days, but I got the ketosis straps and I'm not really in ketosis.

First of all, congrats to all of you that are getting sleeved soon! My surgery date is February 14... I'm so nervous and anxious... my liquid diet started last Tuesday, 5 Protein Shakes, 64 oz [emoji97], and crystal light... I feel nauseated, but very positive because for once I see my life having a future and not hiding from everyone that haven't seen me in a while and realized that I have gained all this weight.

No. Alas, my PCP's documentation wasn't consistent and so I'm starting over. I'm more likely going to be in April/May. But it'll be here before I know it. :)

This diet is so hard. I know I'm almost there, but staying around so many people eating at all times it's torture. My surgery is next Tuesday, I'm almost there, but I'm also so stressed out... sorry needed to vent

      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!

        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.

      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!
