1St Medically Supervised Dr. Visit Uhc



Recommended Posts

So today was the first of my 6 consecutive months of Physician supervised weight loss visits. I have a long way to go, but, I am determined and plan to use this time to prepare myself for the drastic life style change to come....... (once approved of course) #wishmeluck

Once I made the decision to have surgery (I didn't know which one at the time), I did nothing but research. I researched and read and asked and talked about it. I decided to be sleeved when I talked to the surgeon.

Since then I have done nothing but research, ask and read. Now that I start my liquid diet tomorrow, I'm comfortable with the knowledge I have.

No question is stupid if you don't know the answer. Ask.

Good luck!

Thank you! I have been doing the same thing... LOL. I have a portfolio dedicated to my surgery with notes and questions and print outs. I have a really nice surgeon. He was so easy to talk to. I talked to my UHC bariatric nurse today, she was also nice and very helpful. Things are looking good. Just hope the time flies,! Good luck to you as well! Let me know how it goes...

      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!
