Coming out of lurk mode



Recommended Posts

I've been lurking on this site for a couple of months now and have found it to be one of the most informative that I've found on the net. I've had my first consultation with my surgeon and I'm scheduled to meet with the nutritionist on Jan. 16. My PCP is on board with my plans and was pleased to hear that I'm considering the lap band. I still have to schedule my psych appointment and then I guess all that will be left is waiting on the insurance company.

Welcome to the board. After noticing that you are from Texas, I looked at your profile. I am a teacher also. I teach 1st grade. In fact there are several of us around here. We have learned what is easier to eat during that very short 30 minutes that we get so holler if you have any questions and good luck.

Thanks for the warm welcomes. This adventure seems to be getting closer each day. I'm scheduled to see the nutritionist Monday, Jan.16, and I've been precertified by insurance to see the psychologist for that evaluation. Now all I need is a date to see him.

Good luck on your journey. I have also been a lurker and have been viewing the boards for several weeks. My insurance was initially filed on 12/19, but I guess the holidays caused a back log because they had to refile on 01/05... two weeks lost - gurrrrr!

Oh well... what can you do. I hope we can both be happy banders soon.

      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!
