Information Session - Ramblings



Recommended Posts

I know it's nothing to be excited about, but I feel like things are coming along. I am so excited. Today I scheduled my appointment for the information session that Kaiser requires before taking a 12 week class before a surgery date! I guess I'm just excited that it's really going to happen. Woohooo!!

Every step along the way is exciting.. It gets you one step closer to your goal!

I'm just about 3 weeks away from surgery and it feels like time warp speeded by ;)

I remember the feeling when I first started out, and it's definitely something to be excited about! You're about to change your life for the better in a very big way! Harness that feeling and never let it go. Congrats!

It's super exciting! The excitement didn't really hit me until I sat with my surgical coordinator and she handed me a timeline of appointments I was going to have. It goes by super fast!

It is absolutely something to be excited about! A lot of good information was given in that session. I am actually of the opinion that those were the slowest 12 weeks of my life but I am glad I went through it. I started options at 260lbs, I had surgery on 7/6 and I am currently 164lbs.

      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.

      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!
