I've been approved by the doc!



Recommended Posts

Hey all! Just wanted to let you know that I have finally been approved and will be having surgery with Dr. Aceves! I'm still working on scheduling but after two years of wanting this, I finally feel like I am making progress. I am thinking about the beginning of August. I will be a nervous wreck this entire summer but will have satisfaction in knowing it will be my last as a big gyrl.:wink0: I need to follow a 7 day pre-op "liver shrinking diet" which is not the same as a liquid diet, thank God! As I get more details I will share them with you.

Thanks everyone! I can't wait. Do you have any suggestions for a really good food processor? I haven't checked reviews on Amazon yet but I wanted to get your feedback.

Wow! Congratulations!!! I am waiting to hear from Dr. Aceves also that I am approved. I hope also I can see him in June! Please keep me posted on how you are and anything you hear for pre-op as I will be needing to do the same thing. If the Dr. gets back to me soon enough we could be in the hospital together!!! Congrats again!!!

      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!
