Looking for a buddy



Recommended Posts

Hey all. I am starting my early part of the journey. I'm on my second month appts. I have had scopes and blood work all done. And have met with nutritionist twice. My insurance makes me Waite 6 months so 4 more to go before i can do surgery. Psych evaluation is next week. I would just like a friend to talk to while we are going through this together. Hoping surgery will be in may or June.

I just started my 6 month journey on 1/21 and so far I have completed consultation and blood work. I am nervous but I hope it goes by fast

I'm expected to get my surgery in April or May. I started in November. I found out my scope test said I have the starts of Barrett's and reflux even though I have no symptoms. I had full intentions on the sleeve until then. Now I'm being told I'm most likely getting bypass. You are welcome to tag along with me during your journey. It feels like forever but it goes fast. 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.

      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!
