Where Is Everyone From?

Nichole,

Don't I know it:) I started my process Jan. 5. My I insurance doesn't require all the bs some do. At my initial consultation I was told I'd be having surgery by March 1st. Because of waiting for Dr DiMarco I didn't have it until June 7th;) Is Dr Prashar one of his partners?

My insurance doesn't require much either. I think Dr. Prashar is a newer Dr to the WLC. But I met with him on Tuesday n he was very nice, explained everything so well n even told me things like how many procedures he has done. So I feel very confident with him. I am hoping that It won't be much longer till I'm approved n can get a surgery date. When did they give u a date?

I think it went: intake appt, meet with dr weiger, meet with dr DiMarco, nutrition appt. At the end of the nutrition appt they gave me a choice of 3 dates. I also got my first post op appt scheduled at that time. But that may have been because DiMarco is only in the office on Monday. I think I may have met Dr Prashar when I was discharged.

Before I moved to California I lived in Madison Heights. Not too far from Fraser!

A million years ago I had a boyfriend that lived in Fraser :)

I loved him he's very straight forward and tells it like it is. That's what I loved about him. When is your surgery date

I do not have one yet, but I am scheduled for all of my pre op stuff in the next two weeks. Nutrition on the 10th, Psych on the 18th, and endoscopy on the 25th! And then I guess insurance approval after 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!
