HI IM NEW AND NEED HELP!



Recommended Posts

My process took about 11-12 months because of insurance. I thought that sounded like forever but am really glad it went the way it did. I am now 6 months out and down 80 pounds.

I love my sleeve! It is the best thing I have ever done. I feel like a million bucks!!

Good luck to you

THANK YOU AND WOW THATS AMAZING CONGRATULATIONS

My answer is vague i'm afraid - everyone is different in the speed of getting approved

if you have all the proper requirements - high enough BMI - co-morbities - you should be approved in other words the "worse" you are' date=' the better!! :(:)

i've heard people say it took them a few months, i've seen others that applied on a "Friday" and hear a positive response within the week

as others have said - you will have a very very small new tummy

following all the "rules" of drinking and eating little portions - not grazing (eating all day) you can't help but lose weight!!!!

btw - your fears are common to others, so you are not alone

good luck[/quote']

Thank u ya everyone is different im going to do this no cheating

My first office visit was 9/9/2012. I had a six month supervised diet and I am getting sleeved tomorrow 3/18/2013. The time went so quickly my head is spinning.

      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!
