Starting My Wls Journey Today



Recommended Posts

I am so excited but nervous, I am living in Bridgeport, & my Dr's office called me today my insurance covers my surgery, yay????...Had my seminar last night Dr seemed very educated, although I researched him before going to the seminar, so now I start. I was hoping to he approved now I am nervous, my entire family had HBP, Diabetes, Heart related issues u name it. I don't want to get there. Is this so bad wanting a tool to assist me in making better choices so that I can live long enough to see my kids grow up(3 yrs & 17yrs) is it cheating when others are killing them selves at the gym? Wow so many unanswered questions. But still feeling blessed for this opportunity.

I think it's not only a wonderful decision but a wonderful opportunity!! And as far as 'cheating', I think the only thing you're cheating is cheating death!! This decision along with your dedication will only do very great things for you!! Congrats, and I wish you nothing but the best in your journey!!

Thank u. Trying to get my husband to understand why I need to do this. We from the Caribbean and he loves big girls but medical issues and problems are where I am heading. He says he doesn't think I am big/overweight.

      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!
