Hey everyone !

I've been reading almost every post on here and I can't help but feel the love and support that's going on!

It's getting me so mentally prepared and EXCITED.

I'm from Canada so I know our health system is a bit different but I am in a bariatric program to get RNY. I still have several appointments to go through and then eventually get a surgery date several months down the road but the journey has already begun.

Making small changes each week to better prepare myself for the other side ☺ looking forward to chatting with some of you guys !!!

Any other Canadians in the house?

I'm not in Canada, but I think I'm about in the same stage as you are. I've been researching Sleeve and RNY for a year, and finally started the process a couple of months ago. I've had my first full work-up visit lasting several hours, met with the nut, exercise therapist, surgeon, had my psych eval, and am working through my 6 month supervised weight loss (in month 2 right now). Hoping for surgery in May/June. Good luck to you!

      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!
