Trying to get a date.....



Recommended Posts

:angry :nervous Hi All, I am trying to get a date for my lapband surgery. I feel so frustrated. My doctor's office is in the process of moving and the new office doesn't even have a phone yet!! So the woman in the current office emailed my message to the new office. I have been three months with this hanging over my head. Tomorrow I go for my consultation with the Psychiatrist and the Nutritionist. The last evaluations i need before they can operate. I just want a date so I can plan. My husband has been a real pain about the whole thing. Not unsupportive but certainly not "whatever you need". I booked the appointment for tomorrow because I could have back to back appointments. This made sense to me since it is an hour drive to the hospital. My mom agreed to come down and baby sit. It is a long drive for her, but she really wants to do it. This way my husband does not have to take off of work. All is well. But in his mind I should have done the appointments on separate days and taken my daughter to his parents instead. Yeah, that is a great idea except who wants to schlep into North Philadelphia two time instead of 1 and HE HAS YET to TELL his PARENTS that I am having this surgery! :faint: I could scream! Thanks for letting me rant. how is everyone else's day going?

      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!
