I looks like I will be having surgery sometime during the week of November 16th. I need two more surgeon visits, sleep study, psych eval - and that's it! This has been a long process for me as I had my first surgeon appointment January 2013 - but was just not psychologically ready to make the decision back then. Now, I am completely sure this is the right thing. Feeling hopeful.

I'm hoping for the first week of November but don't have anything set yet. I've got to lose 38lbs (already down 11 of those) and have my sleep study, which is scheduled for October 2. I'm also having my psych eval this month on the 23rd. If everything works out like I'm planning, I'll be scheduled the first week of November. Because of work, I can't go any later than that which means I'd have to wait until January. Fingers crossed I can pull this off!

Dr. Mitchell Roslin in NY.

Went shopping yesterday with my friends and I realized - in less than 6 months, I will be able to go to stores like the Gap and banana Republic and actually be buying instead of holding bags while they are trying on....

I have been researching like a mad woman...

I am November 6th...I just have a few last minute things to get on payday this week and then Im done. Vitamins, Protein shakes, shopping lists for post op, gown for the hospital, bed pillow, slip on tennis shoes.

Is it lame that I want to hire someone to clean my house spotless before my surgery so that I can enjoy myself for the weeks Im home after? I already budgeted for a housekeeper, for a hairsalon appointment, pedicure and massage. A last full day for me before I go in for my NEW self surgery. Im only taking off 12 work days and that gives me 18 days from surgery to the office. But the week I go back we only work for 2 days then its the holday vacation so I will basically be getting 3-4 weeks off to recover. Im super excited for what the next year will bring. 2015 will be a new life for me and my son. AMEN! :D

      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!
