I am NOT crazy, the psychologist said so today.

Had my pre-op consult, and she is typing up the letter today, giving it to the insurance lady and my paperwork will be submitted to UHC tomorrow. I also had my appt with the cardiologist, and he said all is good, my ekg was great, blood pressure good, and ready to go. He has no problems clearing me for surgery.

SO... from there i had all my labwork done. Now just to meet with the pulmonologist and then get the upper gi done. All that I have that is going to take time is the esophogeal motility test, and i am not happy with the people over there, so we will see about that.

ANYWAY, hoping to hear soon exactly when I am going in.

OH, I lost 2 ounces since last Thursday's appt, and I even had eggs, bacon and potatoes today for Breakfast before my appt. hmmm.

Went back and had the other blood test done today to check my cholestoreal.

Then I finally was able to get the numbers necessary for the insurance company, I called and NOW, they want a 5 year weight history. Well I haven't been to the drs every year for 5 years. I have had several er visits, but they don't always weight you. I have to call the hospitals and find out if i can get a copy of my records, and hopefully they will. OTHERWISE, I am screwed.

      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.

      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!
