Starting My Supervised Diet



Recommended Posts

In my other post I was dreading talking to my PCP about weight loss surgery and actually worked myself up for nothing! He referred me to my supervised diet which is an 18 week program then I have 2 phsyc eval then I get the final referral to the surgeon. All I am hoping now is that I dont have to do a 6 month diet for my insurance company. The 18 week program is just for my medical group. hmm hope not!! Excited to start this journey and hoping next year will be a great new chapter (if everything goes well) :)

Have you called your insurance company yet to find out what their requirements are? This way you are prepared for whatever you need to do.

yes same here! I start my classes next week on the 5th and I found out that my insurance company leaves the decision up to my Medical group. Have you started your classes or 6 month diet yet?

Yes. I actually started a while back with my PCP. After my first visit with the surgeon, i was told that I must start all over because the visit had to be for 6 consecutive months. So far I've only had one diet visit my second is in a few weeks.

      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?
