Good Luck keep me posted when you set a date. We're still waiting for the final insurance approval.

I think it will be August for me too. This is a revision for me from the lapband. I was going to wait for the province to pay - but it could take years - so I am off the Mexico myself, spoke to the Canadian lady this afternoon - and I have requested August - so finger and toes crossed!

That's awesome! My husband and I both are having it done! I think it will be wonderful to have someone to support you that knows exactly what you are going through. He is going first and then I'm going two weeks later. I can't wait for the chance for new begginings. My BMI is 51 and I weigh 321 lbs. So I have a lot to lose. But looking forward to the journey of my life. I hope we can stay in touch!

I hope my date doesn't change.. Had my pre-op testing yesterday and the EKG was abnormal so instead of going on vacation today, I spent several hours waiting to see the cardiologist for clearance... and I still have to go back tomorrow for testing! Now I'm worried I won't get to go on vacation or get my surgery. Fingers crossed tomorrow's test is all I have to do and everything will be back on track.

I will be thinking about you. I hope all goes as planned. I experience something simular, and now I'm just waiting on a date. Good Luck!

      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!
