I am sooo happy! Today I went in for my surgeon consultation and he said “as far as I am concerned, you are at your goal weight”!! He said my liver feels good and he believes I would be a great candidate for VSG even with my history of GERD. He believes that it will

Improve with weight loss and If I have a Hiatal Hernia he will repair it so it will improve. That was my only concern with the sleeve. Other than that I completed my EKG, my Blood Work, and met with my case manager all in one day! So happy! My date is scheduled for March 28th! Kaiser Richmond. Yay!!

Congratulations, I am only 2 days post-op and the pain has been real but it's getting better gradually. Major regret hit on 1 day post-op but it's slowly dissipating now. I can already tell this will be the best decision I have made for myself. I tear up just thinking that I could be at my goal weight in a year, when I have never been normal weight in my entire life (chubby kid and all). WE CAN DO THIS!

That's awesome! I am going through Kaiser in Bakersfield. I have two classes left, already received my medical approval and just waiting to see the surgeon and get a date. They sure moved fast for you, I'm jealous :):) Did you have to take the Options classes?

      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!
