I am glad you were approved. I am still waiting on my first appointment. I am really anxious, cause I don't know what to expect.

The appts arent that bad lots of testing...overall not a long process you just have to have as much patience as possible the long wait is getting the insurance approval... for the meantime just start doing different diet regimen and cutting down your calorie intake.. you will have an initial weight loss that is required by your surgeon before surgery is done so you know you can start working on it now

Thanks..I'm getting nervous about it now.....im 25 and ive lost 40lbs since November...

You are so young! Congratulations on making a choice to live a healthier happier life. My daughter has a friend who is around your age who had RNY last year and she lost over a hundred pounds. She has been encouraging me and is an inspiration. You have so much to live for and so many years ahead of you that you will be able enjoy to the fullest. Nervousness is normal. You'll get through it and it will be worth it...

Good for you for making this decision while you are young! I'm 35 and wish I had done this in my 30s - I've battles weight all of my life. Good luck to you!

      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!
