Thanks.

My office wouldn't schedule the surgery until final approval from insurance.

My surgeon gave me a surgery date of 11/4 on the first visit! I thought that was strange!!! But it makes me happy because it's a lot easier to plan, having so much time in advance!!!

I'm hoping for a late October, November or December surgery date. I just did my psych eval today. My 2 other requirements are sleep study which is scheduled for 9/18 and also a 30 day follow up with my surgeon which is scheduled for 9/16. After I complete those then we can submit for insurance approval and get a date scheduled. I'm seeing the Surgical Specialist of Louisiana in Covington, my surgeon is Dr Redmann.

I just found out today that I'm scheduled for October 8th. I'm so excited. I can't wait.

I'm October 5.

I would already have this behind me, except for the fact that when I went to check in for surgery this past Monday, 8/24, I had quite a bad sore throat and a low-grade fever. The anesthesiologist said no way would he proceed. So I went home.

I am feeling tired, deflated, and using food as a drug again. I spent 2 weeks on liquid Protein and then 2 days on clear. Was literally starving by the end...and so ready for the surgery but...so I'm on the rebound. Don't know how to get my excitement for this and mojo back!

I am scheduled to have surgery on Oct 5, 2015 in Mexico (near Eagle Pass, Tx) with Dr. Alvarez. Have debated for a while about having surgery. I have to do 3 week pro-op diet, so I started early in order to try to ease myself into it. I have been drinking 4-5 Protein shakes per day and then having a very small regular supper. I have already started to lose some weight.

      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!
