I'm Almost There!!



Recommended Posts

Today is a big day for me because I have been going through this process and preparing for a surgery date. Well today I go in to see the dietitian, and then my paperwork will be submitted to my insurance company. I pray the insurance send back an immediate response. They have already confirmed that I am qualified, so it's just a matter of getting a date. I hope everyone else is doing great, and I am looking forward to moving closer to my destiny!!

Good luck.

I've had times when I wished I hadn't done this. ('Thats normal I think) But overall, I'm glad. I've been very lucky, the wt has come off easy. I'm 5 lbs from goal. Actually my lap band Dr told me to stop losing but when I pointed out my BMI is still in the "over weight " side he said 5 lbs and thats it. So, expect ups and downs. Drink LOTS of H2o. 6-8 glasses aday. And follow the rules.

      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!
