Hello! My name is Vanessa. I am in the process of getting approved for Gastric Bypass Surgery. It's been quite the emotional roller coaster but everyone's pre and post op stories truly motivate and help me stay hopeful. Though I don't have a surgery date (have to wait for all my paperwork to be submitted to insurance after my last PCP appt. next month) If approved I think I will be getting my surgery late Nov. sometime in Dec.

The pre op process is so stressful. Time is not in my favor simply because my insurance will cover the surgery 100% (since I've met my deductibles for the yr) flipside? I would have to be approved before Dec. 31 because new enrollment period starts Jan 1. I have a huge "to do" list, however, I am the type of person that when faced with a challenge I plan and give 110% so that the end results is a reflection of my efforts. With that said I will do everything within my possibilities to comply with everything that is asked of me. Just hoping and most importantly praying that after all my paperwork is submitted mid Nov. my insurance reviews and approves my surgery. I cannot wait to share with you my pre op and one day my post op progress.

With love,

Vanessa! ❥

      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.

        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.

      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!
