Jennifer,

Hope you find someone close to you stage in the WLS process. I started a few months ahead of you at Rollers also. January 3 this year. I have surgery scheduled next Wednesday. Dr. Kwon will be my surgeon.

Hang in there, read this and other forums and get as informed as you can.

Good Luck,

Rick

Hello! I am sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you. I had a little insurance issue so i got discouraged and decided to quit the program. However I am back now. My husbands job switched insurance companies and I thru my pre-existing phase, yes, being overweight is considered pre-existing. The new insurance doesn't require a 6 month diet or pscyh eval. I already had the pscyh eval though. I just have to be over 18, bmi over 40, and do it thru a bariatric center of excellence. I feel very fortunate that i do not have to jump thru a bunch of hoops. I just have to do the EGD and lab work. When is your surgery date? I hope you are still on here.

Jennifer

      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!
