Approved, Waiting on a Surgery Date



Recommended Posts

Well I am thrilled that I got approved ! I'm waiting on them to call me for my preop diet appt with my surgeon. I haven't told anyone for fear of negative reactions and people trying to talk me out of it . I went to my moms today and I almost broke down and told her prematurely. I wanted to but I knew she would not b leery abt the idea . I want to tell her when I have my date set . This way it's nothing else to say . I'm not changing my mind regardless . It's something I need to do for me ! And I'm sooooo happy that this is a tool I can use.

Congratulations on your approval! I was approved a couple weeks ago and I am so excited. I am scheduled for surgery June 11th. I completely understand not telling people. I have been really struggling with that myself lately. Not sure who to tell or not tell. It took me a while to tell my best friend because I new she would be against surgery. But when I told her about all the research I had done and explained it all to her she was supportive. I have been working towards this for almost a year and I couldn't be happier that it is finally time for my surgery. Happy for you and wish you the best :-)

Congrats!!!! :) I'm glad you're sticking to your choice, regardless. I had zero real support when I made my decision, and a year later, I'd still do it again. ;)

Congrats!!! Im still at the beginning stages, doing my sleep test tonite, having to wait six months before my insurance can approve me. However, i know what you mean by not wanting to tell anyone. I had MENTIONED it to my sister in law just to get her reaction and she said that would be STRAIGHT OUT CHEATING!! Kind of felt discouraged after that. However, after my husband and I spoke about, i was fine again. I know i dont need anyones approval but God and my husbands, if they are both fine with it, the heck to everyone else and their opinions. Best of luck!!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
