Congratulations! Be sure and keep us posted on your progress. Everyone here is so supportive, it can really help through any rough spots... but lets just hope you don't have any of those :confused:

Congrats! March 8th will come very quickly! Where are you having your surgery at? Do you have to do a pre-op diet?

I'm waiting (impatiently!) to schedule a date, but I'm hoping for early March.

Good Luck!

Thanks girls for the support !! I am having my surgery in Monmouth County NJ....DR Boreo. He really seems to prefere by-pass but after our conversation he knew i had made the right decision for me. He seems to lean toward by -pass for those who are in a big hurry and wanting fast results. So I felt very confident with him after our first meeting. I have my date but not the final ok from insurance so i am holding my breath for that one !! So far they have told me not to worry that horizon B/S & B/C are band friendly !! Count down time !!

Good Luck! My daughter and I are having ours done this coming Friday in Monterrey, Mexico. My insurance doesn't cover anything to do with weight loss....it's ALL COSMETIC..yeah right! Anyway, I'm forking out the bucks but hey...if it works as well for us as it has for all the others I've been reading about, it will be MORE than worth it...my dad's inheritance will be well spent :P

Keep us in your thoughts and prayers...will keep you posted on our surgery and progress.

Linda

pre-op....but soooon.... 6 days and counting :rolleyes:

      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!
