First appointments done, headed back Monday, tons of homework



Recommended Posts

Had my psych appoint and midlevel medical appointment today, passed with flying colors. Stated I was a perfect candidate for short track RNY. Monday I go finish all my NUT classes. No ERG needed. have more labs, chest xray and such to do also with PCP. Hubs and I have to go to group on Jan 6 and Jan 13 go back and submit to insurance. Feeling it is finally moving in the right direction!! I did loose one inch today in measurements, IN HEIGHT! Boom there went that BMI up some more, dang it getting old too! Now to get busy on all the homework and scheduling of tests in the morning, but tonight I am ready to just veg.............

Its so good you have made it this far. Seems like forever with all the testing and doctor appointments. But you will be so happy with the results. I bet you can't wait for your surgery date. My one year anniversary this week. I had almost given up, but I have now lost a lot of weight and so happy I had it done. Let me know your surgery date. Great news.

Yes I am trying not to go crazy to know when, I am assuming after Jan 13th since that is my next midlevel MD appointment and I will have all done by then. This week working on smaller bits and chewing and looking for Decaf k cups for my keurig is almost impossible when you like strong bold coffee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You bet I will keep posting mostly checking in minimum of daily to the recent items

If you find a strong Decaf K cup, let me know! I used to like Newman's Own decaf, but now it just seems too weak after getting used to dark roasts.

Good luck to you on your way to surgery!

      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!
