Anyone else having their consult on the 8th or around that date? I have my first consult with Dr. Ayzengart and I am beyond ready to start my process. I’ll have 4 months of weight checks with my PCP so I’ll only need two more and whatever else he has me doing.

Good luck to you. There will be lots of other tests that you'll need to have done...for me it was an Endoscopy within the previous 2 years, sleep study, psych eval., and 6 months of pcp weight management visits.

Thank you! I’m beyond ready for my appointment. I have to travel almost 2 hours to my appointment due to them being the only closest doctors who accept my insurance. I can’t wait to get the list so I can get the ball rolling.

I have to go to Gainesville FL. I’m like at the state line of Florida and Georgia! There was a place in Jacksonville that I was trying to go through but they don’t accept my insurance and I can’t pay out of pocket. With my insurance, it’s paid for completely as long as it’s medically necessary.

At first I was just going to give up and not do it, but my boyfriend convinced me. He told me he’s willing to take me to every appointment, if that is what’s going to make me happy. He knows I hate taking pictures or having them taken of me. He’s seen me at my best and worst, so he knows I’m not happy with myself.

Today would have been my Daddy's birthday- i he would have been 106 if he was still alive, this means. he died in 1996, just past his 80th birthday. Wowee- almost a lifetime ago! I do hope in some way , on some level , he is watching and proud of ME! Maybe I would feel better if he's telling the other Angels " That's my little girl doing THAT!" Sorry, I'm crying a little, that's the bad part about outliving your family , no one to hug you, no one to share your joys!

      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.

        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!
