I'm penciled in.....



Recommended Posts

I sure hope to make it in ink for that day....If not then I hope to keep my surgery in for sometime in July. I can't WAIT to watch all you guys go ahead of me. I'm so anxious to get my date for sure. I had a surgery date of July 21st to get Lapband and then changed my mine after reading all the issues involved with Lapband. So here I am. I'm hoping to just move my surgery date up to the 22nd when my Dr. does sleeve surgeries on the next day. I'm hoping that my UHC insurance will feel the same about sleeve as it did for Lapband. I can't wait to get to know you FireCrackers. My birthday is July 16th....I can't think of a better gift to myself than a new beginning.

      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!
