Sorry everyone.. I've been positing here thinking my date would be July but I just got a call from my surgeons office giving me a date of August 5th. Hopefully I can still follow you all and your journey!

Tentatively July 31st in Phoenix. Trying to get it bumped to the week before to maximize my time off work. 🤞

July 30 is my date! Just made July by a nose. Insurance took less than 2 weeks for the approval all classes done. I also posted in the over 65 group as I'm one the of senior citizens. I just can't wait.

July 30th for me in Memphis, TN.

We are sisters, my date is July 30 also. I'm excited to be finally arriving at the end of the hoop jumping and getting to a surgery date! Good luck and keep in touch. I have to start the presurgery diet the 15th. I'm already eating pretty much clean now.

You're welcome to keep following, having a date is everything, so congrats. Even the lady from the doctor's office called and said congratulations you have been approved and you get July 30, like I won the lottery or something. Actually, I feel like I did as I've been at this for what seems like forever.

Thanks! And I've been getting the same reaction when I tell others too! Everyone is saying congrats lol. I told the nurse at my dermatologist office, and my foot doctor's office and they reacted the same way as you described, like if I won something.

I don't know if it is good or bad that I am not required to do a more restrictive presurgery diet. I have to lose 5 pounds before the 29th and liquids only for the last day.

      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!
