Nervous but SO excited



Recommended Posts

Hi all! My name is Jennifer. I live in Orlando, FL and I am very excited to start this process. I recently switched insurances after I found out that the insurance through my new job covers bariatric surgery! My husband and I are both having the surgery done (hopefully soon)! We have chosen Dr. Kim at Florida Hospital Celebration! We meet with his nurse practitioner tomorrow to see which medical clearances we need! Hopefully we will get our surgery dates soon! I am loving this forum....all the support and encouragement is great! I will keep y'all posted throughout my journey! Keep those before/after pics coming because those are keeping me motivated :-)

Congrats Jennifer! I am in Kissimmee and wanted to go with Dr. Kim but my insurance coverage through my employer excludes any type of WLS and I couldn't afford the $18K self-pay price tag. However, I am being sleeved in Cancun on March 8th - very excited! Looking forward to hearing about your journey...best of luck to you and your husband! :)

      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!
