Met With Behaviorist And Surgeon!



Recommended Posts

So, on Monday morning I met with the Behaviorist and the Surgeon. Both meetings went extremely well!! The Behaviorist feels I am a good candidate, no forseeable issues psychologically and the surgeon appreciates that I have been researching and learning a lot all on my own regarding VSG! He went to tell me about a website and I had to admit "Ohh, I already have been visiting OH for the past few years in my Quest to learn." LOL!

My insurance required 14 wk medically supervised "diet" will end the last week in November ... the surgeon says he will do whatever he can to fit me into his schedule THIS calendar year ... provided the insurance company doesn't take it's allotted 4 weeks to give approval.

:)

So ... still reading, lurking, learning, praying about VSG!

Be blessed!!

Sandra

I am close to the same schedule as you. I have to be on the supervised diet for 6 months, looking at a surgery date in January. How is your diet going? I am struggling. I lost in the beginning but now I am afraid i have gained some back. It is tough, only 1300 calories.

I am struggling a lot, lol! Tomorrow I start week 6 and as of yet, I haven't lost anything. *sigh* I have 8-9 weeks left to prove my sincerity! Let's encourage one another! :)

      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.

        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!
