Hey there :). I'm 5'5" and 258. I'm scheduled for surgery on July 28th! So excited and can't believe it's finally here!!! I'm 35, a mom, wife and OB nurse. I've struggled with my weight my entire life. I can't wait to see what the future holds after surgery.

My surgery should be August or September have to wait the six months for my insurance to approve. I just have the cardiac clearance to do yet and I am calling the doctor tomorrow to schedule that. Trying to prepare by exercising and drinking Protein Drinks. I was 292 when this all started in March and I am 5' 9" currently my weight is 264. If anyone is around my surgery date I would love to go through this with someone else. Also my husband bought me a jawbone UP if anyone has one and would like to link them up,for motivation I would love that too.

Hello! I do not have a date, but looking forward to surgery in early July. I am a self-pay, so no need for insurance approval, just getting on the schedule. Unlike many of you, I have some age on me...I will be 57 in July...251 lbs and 5'4". If I don't get this weight off, I am doomed for a massive heart attack. Same as my mother and my eldest brother. Looking forward to chatting with you!

Hi everyone! I am 55 years old and 5'5" and weight is 257. I'm in Virginia. The only major thing I have left to do is the endoscopy w/ bravo. I have pre paid for my surgery and I now find out that the bariatric surgery program surgery program at my hospital is on hold because the PA is leaving. I don't know how long it will be before I get a date now. My endoscopy is on the 20th of June and my surgeon said we will talk surgery dates after that. I'm frustrated because nobody would give me an idea of how long it would take to get a date. I'm so happy for all of you that have their dates and wish you all the best!'

Hi skylarkx! I'm in Virginia too, in Fredericksburg, having my surgery in Richmond. Where are you in Va, and who is your surgeon?

I'm in Staunton Virginia and I'm having surgery on August 1 at RMH Sentara in Harrisonburg with Dr Garwood

Hello any help would be great as my date is set for July 23rd. I have blue shield and they denied me because they said I was missing a paper. We re faxed it in and they said they can take an additional 5 days. Has anyone heard of this? Has anyone had this happen to them? Will it take the full 5 days at that point? Some say it's quicker but I'm worried. Please help lol

      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!
