I just had my second pre op appt.

Im nervous about getting thw surgery. I took four months off from weight checks to see if i could loose on my own and i only lost a lb a month

I only weigh 215 lbs im worried about how much i will.loose and sagging skin.. as well as a liquid diet.

Im also worried that i will go thru all six visits and then be denied by my insurance due to co morbidities. I dont have pre diabetes or high bp.. i havnt gotton my sleep study yet..

Just looking for some encouragement, maybe someone my weight who has gone through it..

It's a lengthy process but well worth it. It took me 11 months to get my surgery and I found out I had severe sleep apnea at my sleep study. I am now almost 6 months post-op and feel amazing and you will too. This is the hard part, trust me...so hang in there!

The monthly check ins are the worst! :P I have number three of my insurance company mandated four coming up, tomorrow and it is driving me crazy! Enough of the fiddling around, already! I know that I want to do this. Stop torturing me, let's get it on. I am not supposed to loose or gain much weight during this process. Wut??? Of course, since I am not supposed to lose weight, suddenly, I want to but since I am not supposed to, I am eating like a horse on fire and am afraid I will gain too much and... :wacko: I'll find out how I'm doing, tomorrow, I guess. :P

Aaaarrrgh!

      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!
