I know, I can hear the comments already but I am frustrated with the wait for my paperwork to be received by my WLS doctor. I had to have a stress test-14 June , then wait while the doc went on vacation-10 July,and now wait on them to finish the paperwork and mail to my WLS doc! I'm calling the WLS coordinator again on Tuesday with the fervent hope that all paperwork is received and I can be scheduled for my final consult with the surgeon. It will be a miracle if I can have my WLS in August. Sigh.

My best wishes to you. Seems like it takes forever. Do stay on top of everything and make sure things are sent when they were suppose to be esp to the ins co.

I'm not good @ waiting either, using the time to make chicken & beef stock, get Isopure, stock the pantry w sf liquids / Protein and get did of junk. Pre op apt is 8th. Need to diet until then, all other stuff finished yesterday. Struggling a bit w food cause I have sore throat, but doing better. Hope things speed along for u!

Singing: "The waiting is the hardest part". Stay strong, it will all happen when it's supposed to happen, but it doesn't hurt to stay on top of things either. :)

Okay, it's not quite as good as a surgery date but my WLS coordinator said my paperwork is finally complete. Yay! Tomorrow I get scheduled for my final surgeon consult.

      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!
