Hi! I'm Jess. 45 yo Mom of a 15 yo boy & 13 yo girl. I have been married for 21 years. 15 of them I have struggled with my weight. I have 3 more appointments before I can get my surgery date. I am hoping for a surgery date at the end of June / beginning of July. Nice to be here!

That whole process can be irritating and the wait, just makes you want to smack someone, but it is worth it. Hopefully it all goes smoothly. Good luck.

Hello Jess,

I am 41 with a 22 year old son. I've been struggling with my weight for many years. I only have 1 more pcp appointment then onto the nutritionist, meeting with the surgeon and waiting for insurance approval. I started this process with the intro meeting in November. I am hoping to be sleeve in July or August. Good Luck on you journey. Keep us posted on your progress. If you ever need to "vent" we're here for ya.

Thanks everyone! I guess I am lucky as my insurance has already approved the sleeve for me pending all my pre-op appointments go well. I have one more pre-op nutritionist apt. On June 6. My endoscopy is on the 7th and my psych eval on the 14th. I won't have a surgery date until I get through all that.

      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!
