Today Is My 6Th Month Weight In.



Recommended Posts

The exitement is kicking in again. I'm getting my PCP's letter today. Wow 6 month went by quickly I'm a bit concerned in the sample letter the Surgeon gave me it says weight/blood presure. Now my doctor only did the weight in he never took my blood presure (I'm not hypertensive) I'm killing myself with this because I did not look at the letter before this. I guess I'll find out today with my doctor if we needed this. Did anyone have an issue with this?

Sorry, I don't understand. Your surgeon's letter says weight/BP and your PCP only collected weight. Why can't you drop by your PCP's office and have a nurse take your BP and add it to the letter?

Just would hate for it to be an issue.

Cigna required progress notes from my visits, which had height/weight, b/p, and temp for each visit. If you had to submit progress notes (office notes), then it'll be on there.

I went to my pcp's office yesterday he said not to worry about it he did an initial check up with weight/BP and temperature at the beginning and yesterday. So all is good lets just hope the don't come back saying they wanted this for all six month.

      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!
