I just went into pre-surgery review today. My doctor's office thinks once I receive insurance approval surgery will be in early to mid-May.

And I hope to be joining you there! By the end of April[emoji414],I hope to know when, can't be too soon for me. My weight loss story started in August 2015, many hairpin turns[emoji420], an attempted derailment by the sons of Seabiscuit the [emoji237] at previous bariatric program, a Center of Excellence no less (gagging sound) but I am now in better program where I should have first gone and my hopes are tree-top high[emoji267]this time! I can and shall succeed and receive the RnY I have been seeking for so long. I am a 72 year old stubborn redhead,[emoji35] and I should not be thwarted, World-[emoji290]- be ye warned!!![emoji95][emoji12]

I think my date will be mid to late May. My last weigh in will be on 5/2 and they said it takes week then the wiorgery is scheduled two weeks after that. Still not 100% sure if I am having VSG or bypass. I have a follow-up visit with my sturgeon on 4/16 to find out - depends on the results of my endocscopy.

SO NERVOUS and EXCITED!! Good luck everyone!

      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!
