Just had my 1st appointment



Recommended Posts

My hubby and I had our initial consultation. Surgeon believes we are excellent candidates for the sleeve, and doesn't believe there will be any issues getting our insurance approval. He said he doesn't really have many denials, and my insurance is really good about approving it.

We are now officially on our 6 month medically supervised weight loss journey. Surgery is anticipated in January. Woo whoo!! So excited to be on this journey!!

This is fantastic news! Wishing you both all the best. It is exciting!

Hoping to get my surgery scheduled in December. My husband got sleeved in April. I wonder how many other partners are doing this together? Or have done so, if the surgeries are done.

Just curious.

Thank you.

My hubby and I are literally having the surgery back to back, same day. His cousin did it that way, and has been very successful because he and his wife know what the other is going through. It's been a great experience for them.

      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!
