Approved But Not Scheduled



Recommended Posts

First off I'm so excited I found this forum. What a great thing and I'll be using it often, I'm sure.

I've been approved for surgery but I'm waiting for the center to call with the actual date. They said it'll be in the next 30 days because my lab work is only good for that long.

I'm excited but nervous. I can't wait to lose weight but since I use food as a reward for myself and it's such a big part of my social life I know I'll have a hard time. Does anyone else feel the same?

I am a bored/emotional eater, so it's taken time to get used to that... I'm still a work in progress and occasionally find myself eating for those reasons. It's really hard to change our ways, but we can make it happen. Sometimes it may seem like an uphill battle, but I know when I get to the right restriction, I'll be okay :)

And, I know one mistake does not equate to FAILURE. Get up, brush yourself off and move on.

Just take it one day at a time :)

I am waiting to hear if I've been approved but they are planning on a June date. I am excited for you. I hope your clinic offers follow up support and classes and maybe that will help with re learning how to deal with food. Good luck!

      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!
