A Little Excited and Scared



Recommended Posts

I have been approved by my ins. co and am meeting with the DR. this Wednesday. I have not done well on my pre-op diet. I've only lost 3 lbs. in 2 weeks. I don't want to be turned down due to the condition of my liver. I'm excited to have the surgery, but afraid that I've not dieted well enough to proceed with the surgery. Any thoughts on this? :unsure:

Do you know when your surgery is set for? I didn't do really well on my diet either and about 3 weeks prior to surgery they put me on a liquid diet (slimfast, Water, crystal light) and I lost 16 pounds in one week. There are lots of options and I don't think they will flat out turn you down just because of that. They might put you on a stricter diet but I don't think they will turn you down. Just keep your head up and do the best you can. You'll do great!

Wow that is such a great loss already and truely gets me super excited! I had my orientation a year ago but have not been able to go any further due to life getting in the way! So since then gained and now afraid when I meet the surgeon on Thursday she will be mad. We will see. Don't they make you lose a certain amount before the surgery? I am scared...its so hard! Thanks for being on here and answering questions, it is so nice since I would rather hear it from a real person rather then just reading it somewhere..guess this kinda makes me feel like its a friendship of surgery buddies :tongue2:

Thanks Cole83. I really appreciate it. I agree that it's nice to have buddies in this. My doctor made me lose 20 pounds before surgery but most people I've talked to have just said that their doctor suggested they lose weight and didn't put a number on it. Either way, if you will do great. Just keep working at it. I will extend to you too that if you want to e-mail me or visit my blog you are more than welcome to. Good luck!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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?
