So I've seen not many of you from cali. But at the moment I'm waiting on the appointment with the dietician. My consultation was with dr. Coats and I was basically approved for all these appts. I did all the appts last year but just didn't go through with it.. even though I'm still a little scared, I really Wanna get this done. I think I'm more scared of the fact tht I hv to buy all these new things and might not even like thm! Still hv a lot of questions?

RNY, just because I've looked up all 3 and I just dnt want to hv to get one of the other ones and then something go wrong and hv to do bypass one later. And question wise I feel like I'm 100% to get it but still, I'm worried about the stages and the eating. and I just wanted to know how everyone else has done. Been reading lots of post, and I know a couple of people tht has gotten done and they say they wouldn't change it for the world. Tht if they had the chance to get it done again would deff do it.

I got notice this afternoon from my bariatric surgeon's office that my insurance company has approved my procedure. Authorization only took 3 days. Now I am waiting for surgical scheduler to call and discuss dates.

Still hard to believe that in 2015 I will be thinner and healthier.

How long did the whole process take for you to get to this point?

From my initial bariatric forum to my insurance auth was about w months. The day after I received authorization I was scheduled for surgery. My date is January 19 @ 7:30am.

I have my preop appointment with surgeon on dec 18th. Then I meet w the dietitian on Jan 5 for preop diet instructions. Then I will begin a 2 week high Protein liquid diet to help shrink the liver. I am very excited and not nervous at all

      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!
