Wooohooo, I was approved. I am so happy :) I think my date is 10/11, at least that is what it says on the health insurance screen where it says approved. Yippeeeeeee!!!!! Oh I have waited so long for this, I can't believe it.

Congratulations!!! I remember how excited I was when I got my approval. Your date will be here before you know it. 1 tip that I can give you would be to "clean out your pantry" before your surgery. Get rid of the bad junk food now. Depending on what type of post-op diet your doctor has you on, at first you might be only liquids and you aren't going to want your "old" favorites staring you in the face. Especially once you move to the soft/mushy stage of eating. This is fantastic tool that we've all gotten, but it doesn't fix the mind.

Good luck and WELCOME!!!

Thanks everyone, It feels surreal still.

Yes I have been reading since I started my journey, so hopefully I am ready, I can feel it in my heart that I'm ready.

I have to start the clean out and I already started getting the things I need for post op minus the Protein shakes since I have been reading that some peoples tastes change so I will see what happens with me. I do have the unjury starter kit, and the Isopure grape and fruit punch for the Clear Liquids phase. My date has changed since this morning to 10/18, my surgeon only does sleeves at a certain hospital so it had to be changed.

Thank you so much everyone for being here, I can't wait to see you on the losers bench.( I couldn't wait to say that!!!) :D

Oh and my doctor doesn't do a pre op diet so I will just watch what I eat and go to the gym to prepare.

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
