IM NERVOUS THAT MY SURGEON WILL CANCEL MY SURGERY BECAUSE I HAVENT DROPPED ALL MY REQUIRED WEIGHT. BUTTTT ON MY LAST PRE OP APPOINTMENT THEY WENT AHEAD AND SCHEDULE EVERYTHING BECAUSE I DID LOSE SOME OF THE WEIGHT. . HE DID SAY FOR ME TO LOSE A COUPLE MORE POUNDS BUT THAT WAS IT ...SINCE THEN I'VE LOST ONLY 2. WILL HE CANCEL? I am supposed to receive a call at 3 today to determine what time I'm going to be going into surgery tomorrow

Only he can say for sure, of course.

However, if he literally said to lose "a couple more pounds" then that's exactly what you did. A "couple" is two.

Now, think calming and relaxing thoughts. It won't help you to be all worked up, though I know it's natural to be nervous.

Good luck.

Good luck! I was nervous before my surgery over the same issue. During my 6 month work up to get insurance approval I only lost 4 pounds! When I talked to him about it he looked surprised and said " if you could lose a lot of weight you wouldn't need this surgery". He told me that the more you get off before the easier it is to have a successful laparoscopic procedure. If he said a couple of pounds and you lost two then you should be ok. Good luck!

      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?

        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.
