Hi All I started my journey 12mts ago, last January I was put on the 6mts weight loss program, 3mts was the milk only diet. that all finished 2 weeks ago & on the last day I had gained 2kg, my consultant was angry but I explained and asked him to look at my legs as I suffered with odema, He said do you think your ready for this operation I said yes more than ready, he said I'll see how you are in 6wks, the week before he said he was prioritizing me for my operation then everything changed, yesterday I heard that they were dropping me from the program, now they haven't told me myself but another person going to them was told that they can now push her up the ladder as they were dropping the lady that had regained in the last group, this person hasent done any the weight loss program, but has all the other test done, im seeing the physiologist on the 23th of august this is the last of my pr-op test to be done, ive sent an e-mail to my consultant to let him know the date as he asked me to let him know, I'm so angry that I could loose this operation over a 2kg gain, Ive tried ringing

the co-ordinator who I get on well with but she hasent returned any of my calls,

So sorry you are having this issue, how disappointing.

Its never made sense to me that people have to lose weight to have the surgery.

I see you lost 46 lbs in a year? That should be considered great for someone that hasn't had surgery yet!

Keep fighting for it! Good Luck.

I'm sorry too! I think it's ridiculous...if we could loose weight on our own, we wouldn't NEED the surgery!! I'm glad I wasn't required to try! Heck...I couldn't have even survived to liquid diet the week before surgery most sleeves were required to do! Good luck & keep fighting!

      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!
