My name is Susie I'll be 35 in October.

I went to see a surgeon yesterday. He said I qualify for surgery. We decided on gastric bypass. I had my labs done today. See the nut next Thursday. My pysch eval on 9/13. All that's left to schedule is sleep evil and EKG. Planning to have surgery in November. My bmi is right at 40. Dr said I won't need a pre diet. I'm so excited.

Congratulations!!!!, I too had my first surgeon meeting Yesterday 12th. I already had my EKG and lab work done, I already also did my sleep study, I been going to support groups, I met with the nutritionist, and already got my psyc app scheduled and my nutrition class scheduled as well. All i need is some test done and get a letter of medical necessity.. I am hoping for a November surgery date!!

The surgeon says he requires a 2 week liquid diet, before the surgery.... thats not bad. and I need to loose 15 pounds before then.

      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!
