New pre bariatric patient



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, tommorow is my five month check up, and last is February 16th before the surgery. I am looking for people who have went through vsg as well as people who are on this journey as well. I'm new to this, still trying to figure out how it all works.

Yes I did my psych visit right before Christmas and this month on the 24th will be my last nutrition visit. Fingers crossed I will be able to schedule afterwards. I also started going to a support group as well. What about you?

No, I really need to, I have went to one meeting, but that's all. I did both nutrition and psych evaluation in the beginning because that's all my insurance required, then of course the sixth months visits. I am doing the sleeve, and I just wondered how painful it is and how much people typically loose. Do u have your scheduled date yet? Or it comes after this last visit?

Unfortunately I don’t get scheduled until after I complete my six months nutritional visits as required by the insurance. Thank you for the compliment. I have also been watching a ton of YouTube videos on the sleeve as well because I am getting that done too.

      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!
