Tomorrow's The Big Day.



Recommended Posts

Tomorrow is the final phase to the beginning of my new life. I feel ready. I'm not really nervous. I feel super prepared having read so much on here. I made it through the 14 days of liquid without cheating and I think that will be the hardest part. I want to thank you all for your support and for sharing your experiences.

Congrats on all the above ! I start my liquid diet in a couple of weeks....starting to worry if will go nuts without solid food.....I just plan on drinking Water in-between to keep the hunger pains at bay. What kind of pre op tests did you have? I was signed up for the band and after reading here,decided to go for the sleeve. My Dr. appt is not until the 17th and so I have yet to speak to my doctor about the change. i did get my insurance going on the new surgery though...hope to get my letter soon. I wish you well and have prayed for you already : )

Keep me updated ! I will be waiting to hear from you !!!! You will do well....

Hi. I had a boat load of blood tests, an upper GI, chest xray, stress test, EKG, ultrasound on my legs, and the psych Eval. I had a 6 month weight loss requirement. Admittedly, I didn't take that too seriously and ended up getting approved for surgery but then the surgeon wouldn't do it because my Diabetes was way out of control. I took 2 months and worked hard and realized how important each phase of this journey is. I got my numbers down and now I am ready to go. I made a lot of the changes we will be required post op already. I also saw a therapist for 2 months to really work on understanding my relationship with food.< /p>

      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!
