Being Banded tommorrow!



Recommended Posts

Hi,

Haven't posted in a long time. Got discouraged after the insurance company tried to tell me the doctor sent in someone else's paper work & I would have to wait another 6 - 8 weeks for approval.

After many hurdles & insurance difficulty I am finally having surgery tomorrow. I can say that I am quite nervous & excited at the same time.

I have just suffered through the liquid pre op diet. Never want to do that again.

I have lost a total of 52 lbs. Since I started my journey.

For someone not in the process it is hard for them to understand. The family is happy that I have lost so much weight but when I went to see them they couldn't even recognize that I had lost the weight!

But I am looking forward to seeing the difference at Christmas time.

I wish everyone else good luck on their surgeries. & hope that everyone else has an easier insurance time than I did.

I just wish I wasn't so nervous.

      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?

        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.
