New Here and Pre-Op



Recommended Posts

Hi Everybody,

You have no idea how glad I am to have found this site. I am pre-op scheduled to be sleeved on April 16th or earlier. I am almost done with all the stuff needed to submit to insurance and if all goes well, I may be sleeved in March, but at the latest April 16th. I am so excited and nervous at the same time. This will be something great for me. I have been overweight for over 20 years. It's horrifying to me and I need this to eliminate a lot of problems in my life.

It is so great to read these posts about like people and if I could I would put a great big hug around everyone here. I will be posting as things are prepping and also my successes after the sleeve. I have questions I will probably be posting too.

So glad I am here,

Kriss

I'M APPROVED! I'M APPROVED!!! Got the call last Thursday. I have been rescheduled to March 7th. Only two weeks and four days. I start the liquid diet on the 21st FOUR DAYS!! I am beside myself. I seriously did not think insurance would approve it. I am not a very optimistic person sometimes. Something always happens to burst my bubble. But not this time. I have been gathering what I will need for the liquid diet. I am going to rock this thing. Can't wait for Thursday. I know that sounds crazy, but anything to prep me for the surgery I will do in spades. Look out world, I'm comin' tra la tra la

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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?
