Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Met with my new plastics, so going with him!



Recommended Posts

Met my second opinion surgeon on Monday. He made me feel quite comfortable and did the same pictures and all that the other plastics did but he also let me keep my self respect.

We are looking at getting another opinion for part of the surgery. So there may be two of them working on me at the same time. I trust this man with my life.

Breasts later he says but he does not see an issue with them. He said they looked really good and was a common surgery for him..Yes....Medicare covers some of it but he said he will give me a considerable cheaper rate because I just didn't walk in off the street. He knows me and so it will make a huge difference as far as cost goes....

I can't wait for this next step..Really and truly!

Yay! So glad to hear you had a good experience! Do you know when it will be? What are you having in your first procedure? I had 2 procedures so far, and I'm probably going to have a little minor tweaking done. I was really a mess before, and I am really happy with what I had done. My body is far from perfect, but it is greatly improved. It's a very exciting time for you - can't wait to see your transformation!

      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!
