Dharriott-I hear mine will only be Protein Shakes and as many apples and bananas I want. I will do whatever the dr says but yours sounds much more pleasing. Lol

Hi everyone! Can any of you share your psych eval experience. I have mines in two days and super anxious and nervous. This is the last step to submit my claim to the insurance. Should I be worried or no. Thanks!

Mirabb2002-my psych eval was my last appt prior to submitting. It lasted all of 10 or 15 min. Her questions were really geared to make sure I didn't have any mental health issues that can hinder the surgery from being successful. No questions out of the ordinary. History if Weightloss attempts. Why surgery. Do I suffer from bulimia. I definitely would not worry about it.

So I just finished all my required tests for clearance. My surgery approved it the day of my first appointment. All I have left us my psych/nutrition appointment on March 12. So I call the surgeon just to make sure that all results were received and she tells me she sees no appointment in the book for March 12. I flipped!! It's a three month wait. I made this appointment back on DECEMBER!! I'm totally pissed. All this work and the quick approval and I still might be waiting 6 months. Makes me want to stuff my face with a cheeseburger.

      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!
