Hello everyone!

On Wednesday May 16, after attending a seminar on the three different surgeries, i have made my decision to go with the gastric bypass instead of the band.

I am 36 years old - 5'3 - weight lately ranges from 244.6-251.2.

I have tried it all cleanses, weight watchers, lean cuisine meals, even after I lost the initial weight (lowest 180) I could never take anymore off even with exercise. I would maintain but nothing else.

I have struggled with my weight since I was 17 So 20 of feeling very uncomfortable with my body I am going to do it.

From what I gather the criteria for my insurance is to:

Start seeing physician once a month for the next 6 months which is Wednesday, then then surgeon approved dietician on July 3.

If I have to do the 6 months of seeing the physician then I am projecting a surgery date approx around the middle of December.

I have two daughters one 19 the other 5, full time job and starting Grad school in August.

Yes it is like me to pile the plate so high I am pecking over the top.

But I know that if I don't make this change I am going to just get bigger and Bigger and BIGGER!

Looking for the support from this community to continue on!

Would like to feel comfortable and beautiful!

Nish

      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.

      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!
