1 Month Count Down...



Recommended Posts

So I'm in the last stretch while I wait for my insurance to approve. I should be getting sleeved on dec 21. I'm feeling like I could use a buddy to go through this with me! I'm starting to get anxious. I'm trying out a new support group in my area tomorrow. If you want to chat let me know :)

I'm currently scheduled for the 18th but I'm hoping to get it moved a week sooner.

I'm also waiting for insurance approval (hopefully this week). Had my EGD yesterday, labs last week, stress test, chest X-ray and EKG tomorrow, then gallbladder ultrasound and the 3 hour info. class on the 27th.

Have you been to the class yet?

The program that I am in requires an orientation class, nutrition class, physical therapy class, 1-1 with NUT, psych eval and then finally meeting with the surgeon. I have done aaaalll of that! Just waiting for the final word from my insurance company.

Heeeyyyy! My surgery is scheduled for Dec. 20, i am so anxious, excited, scared and READY... 5 weeks seems like a long time, but everyone keeps telling me it will fly by :) I have already had the blood work (12 tubes!), I hade an Echo and psych eval and one NUT meeting as a letter from her was required for my insurance approval. It took about 3 weeks to get insurance approval, my Next Dr. Consult is supposed to be the first week of Dec. and I was told I would not be on a pre-op diet...

Also, I'm 28 and in Houston, TX

      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!
