Hello!!

I'm an almost 49-year-old, pre-op sleeve hopeful. I made my initial surgeon visit 5/3. I've done my mandated psych eval. I've met with the nutritionist and in 2 days, I do my EGD. My understanding is that after those results are received, the surgeon's office will submit my preauthorization to my insurance. I've tried to make sure I dotted all the i's and crossed all the t's, but yet now I find myself becoming extremely nervous. What if they actually approve me!?!?!? Anyone out there find theirselves playing mind games while they were waiting?? Please tell me I'm not the only one.

I'm good to go for surgery this Thurs June 6th my only head game is that I keep wishing I could have done this lifestyle and weightloss on my own without having to resort to cutting my stomach off! so I got to the point where I am nervous about the surgery but excited of my new life ahead of me and now the excitement far outweighs the fear.

Second guessing myself because I don't want to make a mistake, but I quickly get back focused and know this is right & what I want to become healthier.. Im excited, scared & ready all in one.. Lol

      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!
