I just posted about this yesterday. At my NUT appointment it dawned on me that this is real!! It really shook me up. We are making the best choice for a healthy life.

It is a scary prospect, you are voluntarily undergoing major surgery that will remove a large portion of your stomach, and after that your life will never be the same again. It will be BETTER!! There are some very big challenges ahead, and it wont be easy, and at times you will wonder why the h**l you did this. But you know why, you are taking the steps to a healthier, happier you, and it is totally worth this temporary struggles. If you weren't nervous about this, then, i would worry. Best of luck to you!

I'm in the same boat you are with Cigna.....thought it was 6 monthly visits with the NUT....wasn't happy when when I found out it was only 3......I had reservations, and thought in the 6 months I could work past them--have to put that in overdrive LOL Luckily after the mental health evaluation, I feel better about this........My last appointment is July 1.....it'll be here before you know it....

      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.

        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!
