URGENT SUPPORT NEEDED: Representatives Johnson (D-TX) and Blumenauer (D-OR) are circulating a letter for members of Congress to support state health exchange plans providing equal and fair coverage for obesity treatment tools. The OAC is always advocating for better access to obesity treatment options, and they need YOUR help to explain why this is so important! It takes only 30 seconds! You can make a difference – ask your representatives to sign-on in support of covering obesity treatments in state health exchanges by clicking here.

Please also help spread the word – we have only a short time to influence this issue!

Done. Although everyone of my state representatives is an idiot so I'm not sure how much good it will do.

Hey, everyone. Hoping y'all are still around. I am a Heads Up program participate and could use some advice on what to expect. I just finished my two week liquid diet before the doctors approve me for surgery. Got my chest xray so just playing the waiting game.

Like you I finished my shakes on July 6th and completed my chest x-Ray on my two week visit. Now I'm waiting for the call. Please keep me updated when you receive your surgery approval call and I'll do the same.

Best Wishes for a successful surgery and banded life. Dr. Thomas is a great surgeon, and the follow-up visits have been great. Once you are a few weeks out from surgery, I can offer two bits of advice...... Schedule and go to ALL of your follow-up monthly appointments and get into some EXERCISE routine. I have a follow-up appointment tomorrow and since I will be one year out on August 22, I think they will start scheduling appointments every three months. I now exercise SIX days a week......If I can do it, just about anyone can do it.

      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.

        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!
