So... I called the bariatric surgeon to see what the hold up was to get approved. She said they were just waiting on medical clearance letter so I had to go see him AGAIN even tho I just seen him a month ago. Well when he found out I was having lapband he was being so dry. This a doc who usually talks to me and all. The he says 'so ur dead set on having this surgery huh' ???³ I'm like really brah?! This my dang insurance and co pay covering this not urs! I will be getting a new doc post op!

Sorry to hear that your primary doctor acted that way. I work at a primary doctor's office and when I started researching about my surgery he was very supportive. He told me everything he knew about it and assured me the risks were minimal. He's not my primary doctor but my doctor supported my decision as well.

My primary doctor is the one who gave me the card to the bariatric surgeon and said why don't you check this out.

I think he is more excited then me when the scale goes down, my PCP is the best!

Find another PCP, I agree with grandma3 my doctor was the one who told me i need to lose weight and told me about the Lap Band. I had heard of it before but i guess i never realized how big i was unitil my own doctor told me i was morbidly obese.

      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.

        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!
