Waiting

Well still waiting for a surgery date. Diagnosed with severe sleep apnea and waiting on doctor to call me and get my cpap machine. Sleep study was done over a week ago. Called doctor last Friday and they said they just received a phone call the day before but no results had been faxed over and they were waiting for those. Waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, WAITING SUCKS!!!!! I will be so glad when I get a date at least and then I will know for sure that this dream of mine is a reality. Stuck in a rut!

I know this post was a while ago but I hope you are feeling better? I hope you got the cpap machine, I know several people that have one and say it's the best sleep they have had in a while. waiting does suck and causes our stress to elevate which I know for me used to lead to more eating. I hope you are able to manage that stress better than me, but if not....don't beat yourself up about it. You are here which is already a great start. I did not find this website until just before surgery, which I had known about it sooner....would have helped with some of my anxiety about surgery and what to expect. Wishing you all the best and hoping to hear from you soon!

Thank you! :) I kinda haven't been on here in awhile cause I was over stressing about it all. I did receive my cpap and it is amazing! I still have issues with something on my face but I cannot begin to describe the difference it has made in me. I no longer feel like an 80 yr old when I wake up. Energy level is up and my attitude is even different according to family and friends. I love this thing and look forward to wearing it!

I still can't seem to get it together as far as food goes. I really don't have any support in that area. I work and go to school and it's too easy just to grab something. I need to get me some veggies and fruits and make some little ziplock bags so I can just grab and go.

Still waiting though because the doctor has to see the results of month long use of the machine and that will be Feb. 15. After that who knows how long it will take me to get my last appointment and get a surgery date.

      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!
