Getting closer



Recommended Posts

I saw my Dr in January the first time. Thursday is another follow up appointment. I've done the psychiatric evaluation. Upper gi . The seminar explaining all of my options. The stress test. An ultrasound. And the sleep study. All I have left if blood work and the nutritionist consult. They did find out that I have gallbladder disease and need it removed and a hiatal hernia that needs repaired. Lots to do before the big day.

I look at all the before and after photos and read all the success stories and get so motivated and excited! I can't wait to be posting my very own before and after pics! June sometime. My journey will begin. I pray I have great success! Ready to work for it.

Im right there with you!!! I started back in September and I finish my classes on May 1st so Im hoping for a late May or June date. In the beginning all the appointments and requirements were daunting and seemed like they would take forever, but now it seems like time is flying. I can't wait to be a "after" as well!!!

      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!
