Hoping to be an April Sleever



Recommended Posts

I finished up my 3d month of medically supervised dieting Tues. I gave my doctor the form and another form he needed to fill out plus he needed to send my highest wgt in 2011 and 2012. My primary care doctor said he would fax the info later that day. I called my ins coordinator at my bariatric ctr today and she had not received the paperwork. I left a msg on his answering machine hoping he would fax the paperwork today. She said she would call me when she got it. She did not call. How long does it take a doctor to fill out two forms? I hate to harrass my doctor but I wish he would fax the paperwork so the ins coordinator can send it to my ins company for approval. I want to be an April sleever. All this waiting is so hard. I want to start my journey to be a smaller me!

From what I've heard from other people it can take a little time. I paid out of pocket so luckily I didn't have to go through all the stress you're dealing with. Just take it one day at a time and keep your focus. Pretty soon you'll look back and realize it flew by. I got my sleeve in August and it still seems like yesterday.

      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.
