Anxious now that 6 mos doc visit is up



Recommended Posts

Hey has anyone gotten very anxious towards the end of their 6 months supervised doc visit? It's on Thursday and then next week the sleep study and then it's go time with the insurance. I'm so anxious and excited at the same time. Like I felt when I was little and it was December and it's almost Christmas.

I guess because I know that it's almost time and I'm getting close.

I'm only 3 months into the 6 month diet/exercise. I have had all of my appointments/evaluations. Did an Oxygen study at home last night. Waiting to hear back to see if I need to do the sleep study or not. Where are you from in VA? I just moved to NC 1.5 years ago from Harrisonburg, VA. I would have never even considered WLS if I hadn't moved here. I am still in the "Whatever" mode right now because I know it will still be awhile yet. Just trying to keep myself busy. Good luck to you!

I"m in Richmond area. Good to see another Virginian. Yeah I was in the whatever mode at first and then I got more excited. My 6 month supervised doc visit ended today. Yeah keeping busy eases the anxiousness I've notice. Good luck to you, as well

I'm also in the RVA area and on my last requirement to meet criteria. Good luck! It seems that everytime I goto my PCP for the supervised diet, they're clueless on what I need them to do.

Question!

Your 6-month appts, were they all 30 days apart? I have a few months we went back into that were longer and on random days.

Thanks!

I'm in the last month of my 3 month supervised diet. They'll submit for insurance approval on May 2nd. I do have to have a repeat Endoscopy at the end of April. Surgeon found an ulcerated area in my small intestine and a large hiatal hernia. On my meds now for the ulcer. Hope they work as no surgery for me with an ulcer. I'm trying not to stress too much about that, especially since stress is bad for ulcers! On the plus side, I've lost 27 lbs on my own so far.

      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!
