It went really well. I don't have any required prerequisites for the surgery. Just my pyc eval and approvel from my insurance and then ill get my date! All the doctors did was go over the surgery and how its done and they weight and measured me. Pretty simple and to the point. He said it would have been more extensive except I don't have any health conditions tied to being over weight and my bmi was under 60 so I don't have to lose any weight. :) I'm sooooo excited!!!!!!

I'm so excited for you. This whole experience is so great! My surgery is in a couple of days and its been an emotional ride. But I'm so excited to start this journey. For someone to give you a chance at a new life is awesome and I feel so blessed. I wish you the best chick a dee! ????

I had my first appointment yesterday too. I have no health issues (besides being obese, of course!). My surgeon wants 6 months supervised diet and exercise program - monitored by my PCP. Psych eval, nutrition consult and I gotta lose 20 lbs before the 6 months is up.

Yay us!

My first appointment is this next friday. I am so excited. I am still six months from surgery, cause I have to do the six month diet. Hopefully the time will go buy fairly quickly. I do have health conditions from being obese. I have diabetes, sleep apnea, and PCOS. I can't wait for my healthier lifestyle.

My first appointment is Friday also. I have to do a 3 month diet from what I hear, I guess I'll find out everything I need to know on Friday. Good luck at your appointment.

Thanks! We should keep each other posted on how everything is going. I know I am getting labs done, chest xray, EKG, seeing the doctor and dietitian. Not sure what else, I know they set aside four hours for your initial appointment. What sucks is I have to go fasting and my appointment isn't until 1130.

      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!
