Consultation being scheduled!



Recommended Posts

So I'm really nervous! I have done my research forever a year and I have finally made my decision to do it. Just waiting for my benefits to be verified and get my consult scheduled!

How do you guys deal with people who are negative and against the surgery (RNY) ? I always have people trying to talk me out of getting it and its annoying.

I've only had one person try to talk me out of this, and crazy enough, it was the tech who works in the pulmonary doctor's office. I very politely told him that I had the support of three highly qualified physicians and have done my own research & thanked him for his concern. You will hear horror story after horror story, mostly from I'll-informed, ignorant people. I've found that my best bet is to smile and walk away or change the subject. It is nobody else's business!

My favorite reply is my body is not a democracy, so you don't get a vote.

I didn't tell anyone I had it done only person that knows is JESUS and he will never judge me.

It's hard to explain how it feels to walk in my shoes I didn't want to hear any negativity and I don't I love it this way! ;)

I read it somewhere, perhaps on this forum, loved it and use it.

I've only told my parents and boyfriend. They are all in support of me and have agreed with me to keep it to ourselves.

      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.

      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!
