I am so excited! They called me after submitting my papers on Thursday for my insurance and I have a date to see the surgeon on April 18. I am hoping that this means that day I will get my two week diet to then have my surgery. Is that the procedure? Or will it be more waiting? Either way I am truly excited cause its finally becoming a reality, I have been on this journey since September and hopefully May will be my last day being FAT!

Depends on your surgeon, his schedule, your insurance...many factors. I was self pay, so they pretty much said..."when do you want to schedule it for??" I traveled to Dallas, saw the surgeon and had surgery 3 days later. Every doc operates differently. If your BMI is lower, you probably won't have to do a 2 week diet. (mine was 55, so I did have to) Some only require 3 days or 1 week. You'll have to see what he says.

      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!
