Hey y'all. I came across this site today. I have been doing research on the VSG for a while, attended a seminar two weeks ago and decided this is something definitely want for myself. I met with my surgeon today, and have scheduled my first meeting with a nutritionist and psychiatrist tomorrow (they work pretty fast here). My primary Dr said I have to have an upper GI and another meeting with a nutrionist, so roughly two months of prep prior to surgery, pending review from my insurance company. I'm hoping that this works out. I am 28, and have been carrying this weight for the majority of my life. I have always been a happy, positive, and confident woman...but as I am nearing 30, it's definitely time to make more positive changes.

Looking forward to making friends with you all and reading all about your journey. Say "hey" when you can. :)

Hey!!! :) I really appreciate that! I've been debating WLS for the past year or so. I've finally stopped being a baby about it. I'm definitely looking forward to cheaper clothing.

      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!
