It seems like I started this journey so long ago.

It has taken 9 months from Seminar to approval.

I am so happy, but still impatitent, can't wait for April 24th!! I start my pre op diet on the 11th.

I stocked up on my Protein and vitamins!!

Now to get my hospital bag ready and do my spring cleaning at my house!!

Congratulations! I just received my approval as well and am expecting a call this AM from the scheduler--- hopefully we'll get this done in the next couple of weeks.

The approval process was so long. I just thought that the insurance company would find some way to not approve me, but I worried about it for nothing.

Good luck to you on your surgery!

Yeah!! Congrats to you all. Isn't it so exciting, yet scary? I'm excited to finally get my Sleeve, but scary because I am losing my friend( food) and not sure if we will ever be cool with each other again

This is probably jusy fear of the unknown.

But it has come to this, I have to get a new friend, I hoping exercise will be my new friend!

@betterthanbefore,

Thank You!!!!

I thought maybe I was alone in my love affair with food. food has always been there for me, but now it's feels like it's not my friend in a way, it's an frenemy. I keep thinking... What if I try to eat my all time favorite and it makes me terribly ill. How will that make me feel. But then I tell myself, maybe that's a good thing. Then I read stories on here about "head hunger" I hope I don't get that. I'm going to try to really get gung ho about exercise and hope I go way too overboard with that, like I did with my food!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
