Hey everyone, newbie here! I am preparing for my VSG surgery and boy are things moving fast! Surgeon & seminar next weekend and the following week my mental health assessment and then bam I can schedule surgery! I love my insurance company let me tell you! My surgeon's nurse wanted to schedule me 2 weeks after my mental health assesment, I was like whoah slow down I have to get time off etc lol. I will discuss dates with surgeon next week, I am thinking sometime in March, I will post once I know.

My story is long and detailed, so I will post it later. But I weigh today 276.8lbs and I am already starting to do some things that I know I will have to do after surgery, like I have not had a carbonated beverage in a week - wow - that has been hard! Starting to sip beverages and not gulp and eat small bites of food, chewing really well, I figure better to start habits now!

All of the stories on here are inspirng and the stories and information given is helping me so much, I am so grateful I found this site, I look forward to sharing my journey and reading more about everyone else's!

Love & Hugs -

Anne

Congrats on your up coming VSG surgery. New habits are great I did the same thing before my VSG surgery, I started eating slowly and chewing everything 100 times it made a difference for me at least.

Keep posting and again Congrats on up coming VSG.

      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!
