I have my second weigh in at the surgeons office today. I am nervous because I know I am up like 5lbs maybe more? I have increased edema in my legs from working the last three nights and should get my period this week which for always equals a gain!

Also I haven't really tired to loose weight this past month, I was adding more veggies in as recommended by my surgeon but I have a long way to go on that one!

Tell me about your gains! What did your surgeon say? Did it slow down your progress?

????????????????????

My MD has been amazing. She doesn't know how to shame people. She is every hopeful of a better result the next time. It has been great working with her. I'm making slow progress and will be up some at my weigh-in next week but I know I can do better and she will believe me and give me more chances. I hope yours is a wonderful. :-)

I have gained 1-2 pounds almost every weigh in. Mostly Bc I have PCOS and when I don't get my periods normally it's like I just weigh more. But finally I have lost 2 pounds! My doctor has been supportive and went over portion sizes and how that can make you gain weight. I have a hard time controlling my portion sizes. I'm sure doctor will support you!

My dr is good about it too- my insurance is not from what I understand- but my dr requires liquid diet the 2weeks before and I should lose about 15-20 then. Does your dr require that? He says it will tell them I'm ready to change my lifestyle which is required to be successful.

My doctor doesn't require the liquid diet. My insurance I have a feeling is going to give me a hard time but I really hope they don't. My insurance requires 6 months of doctor supervised dieting. Does yours? I have bcbs of al.

I talked to my insurance yesterday. They said to get a recommendation from my pcp for the surgeon and follow what him and his team say and it should be fine...... I hope i got the right info..... Seems too easy

      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!
