Introducing myself- October seems so far away!



Recommended Posts

Just got back from my consultation and I am so so happy to finally start this journey! I have my first nutritionist meeting tomorrow, which marks the first day of my 3 month supervised diet (I have Cigna and they require it).

While I am excited to start the process, I can't help but feel like October (when my surgery will probably be) is just sooo far away! Did anyone else have this feeling when they first started off? I am actually taking the Bar Exam in 29 days so hopefully this month will go by quickly because I'll be studying so often that I won't be able to think about it!

I've been lurking for a while reading everyone's stories so I am excited that I can join in now!

October will be here before you know it. I am hoping for surgery mid November. Good luck and I hope the time passes quickly for you :)

"Res Ipsa loquitur" - the thing speaks for itself :)

I just wanted to send you positive thoughts on the bar exam! Yay for you! It's a hard test but it is totally doable.

Tackling the bar and losing weight are two of my top goals so I can totally appreciate what you are going through and wish you the very best with both challenges.

      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!
